[F]My friends from [C]high school [F] [C]
[F]Married their [C]high school [F]boyfriends [C]
[F]Moved into [C]houses [F] [C]
In the [F]same ZIP [C]codes where their [F]parents [C]live
But[Am] I, I could never [F]follow [C] [F] [C]
No [Am]I, I could never [F]follow [C] [F] [C]
[F]I hit the [C]highway [F] [C]
In a [F]pink R[C]V with [F]stars on the [C]ceiling
[F]Lived like a [C]gypsy [F] [C]
[F]Six strong [C]hands on the [F]steering [C]wheel
I've been a [Am]long [G]time [F]gone [C]now
Maybe [Am]someday, [G]someday I'm gonna [F]settle [C]down
But I've [Am]always [G]found my [F]way some[C]how

[F]Drank with the [C]Irish and [F]smoked with the [C]hippies
[F]Moved with the [C]shakers [F] [C]
Wouldn't [F]kiss all the [C]asses that they [F]told me [C]to
No [Am]I, I could never [F]follow [C] [F] [C]
No [Am]I, I could never [G]follow
It's been [Am]two [G]long [F]years [C]now
Since the [Am]top of the [G]world came [F]crashing [C]down
And I'm [Am]gettin' it [G]back on the [F]road [C]now

[Am]Taking the [G]long way [F]around [C]
I'm [Am]taking the [G]long way [F] [C]
I'm [Am]taking the [G]long way [F]around
[G]Oh, [F]I just take my time I won't lay [G]down
And [F]take the long way 'round
[Am] [G] [F] [C] (end on [F])
Well, I [F]fought with a [C]stranger and I [F]met my[C]self
I [F]opened my [C]mouth and I [F]heard my[C]self
It can [F]get pretty [C]lonely when you [F]show your[C]self
[F]Guess I could have [C]made it easier [F]on my[C]self
But[Am] I, I could never [F]follow [C] [F] [C]
No [Am]I, I could never [G]follow
Well, I [Am]never seem to [G]do it like [F]anybody [C]else
