Verse 1:
C majorC             DmDm    FF
The other night I took the long way home
  G+G         C majorC
Out past the old schoolyard
C majorC             DmDm FF
It's funny how you keep it all inside
G+G         C majorC
Dreams they do die hard

Verse 2:
C majorC              DmDm    FF
I closed my eyes and I could see your face
G+G         C majorC
Somewhere back in time
C majorC             DmDm  FF
One summer night a million miles ago
G+G         C majorC
Back when you were mine

Chorus:
C majorC               DmDm      FF
Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows
  G+G            C majorC
But don't carve the words in stone
C majorC
I know it's late
       DmDm    FF
But can't you see I was only
G+G          C majorC
Taking the long way home

Verse 3:
C majorC             DmDm     FF
Sometimes its easy to get all wrapped up
  G+G      C majorC
In trying to be free
C majorC               DmDm   FF
And all those dreams I sailed away to find
   G+G         C majorC
Were right in front of me

Chorus:
C majorC               DmDm      FF
Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows
  G+G            C majorC
But don't carve the words in stone
C majorC
I know it's late
       DmDm    FF
But can't you see I was only
G+G          C majorC
Taking the long way home
