        G                               C 
Don't think I've ever seen your kind of pretty 
 G                                       D 
Wondering around this midnight mad house city 
           G                            C 
You got a look that says you got it all together 
          G                               D 
So if you don't mind I'd like to know you better

Take me the long way around your town 
             G                       D 
Were you the queen with the silver crown? 
           Em                    D 
I want the secrets you keep, the shine underneath 
        C 
Of the diamond I think I just found

I'd love to see just where your daddy met your momma 
     G                  D 
Your hand-me-down '99 Impala 
            G                               C 
Show me the field you danced in Clover, The harvest in October 
         Em                                   D 
When the leaves fall from the sky just like a Sunday drive

Take me the long way around your town 
             G                       D

Didn't think tonight when I walked in 
       G                                D 
I'd be falling for somewhere I've never been

Take me the long way around your town 
             G                       D 
Were you the queen with the silver crown? 
             Em                        D 
I want your red blushing stories. Your faults and your glories 
      C 
That made you who you are right now
