[Verso 1]
 
G              C     G 
The day I left Tennessee 
G         C      D 
I swore I had to go 
G                    C  G 
You couldn't tell me anything 
G               C     D 
That I didn't already know 
 


[Refrão]
 
C             G                D                G 
Sometimes the nights turn into days and I can't sleep 
C            G                 D 
I stare at a ceiling wondering why 
C             G         D     Em 
    Somewhere along the way I realized 
       C                D        G 
It's a long, long, long way back home 
 


[Verso 2]
 
G             C       G 
When I saw my name in lights 
G          C     D 
I knew I's on my way 
G             C        G 
A new girl or two each night 
G           C      D 
I thought I had it made

C             G                 D                    G 
Sometimes the nights turned into days and I couldn't sleep 
C            G                   D 
I'd stare at a ceiling wondering why 
C             G         D     Em 
    Somewhere along the way I realized 
       C                D        G 
It's a long, long, long way back home 
 


[Verso 3]
 
G               C          G 
Now I ain't proud of all my running 
G                 C         D 
You could say I lost my way 
G                C        G 
And maybe I had this coming 
G                     C         D 
And this is my reckoning day

C            G                 D
