 Verse 1:
           E7             A  
 There's a sadness in the air
        E7             A  
 On the train to Tennessee
     D      A/C#      
 And I know there's no
 Bm    A        E      
 angel watching over me
 E7            A   
 All I have to hold
         E7       
 Is this atlas and
   A              
 a note that reads
    D    A/C#    Bm   
 If ever you are ready
 A E(hold)
 to come home again
                 A 
 I'll be waiting up
     E7                  A   
 But please don't be too long
     D      A/C#  Bm   
 You know I never meant
    A        E       
 to make you lonesome
     E7           A    
 But I got my own plans
     E7             A         
 And if you love me understand
      D      A/C#      Bm  
 I've got to take this road
    A        E              
 to find out who I really am
 
 Chorus 1:
      D              
 So tonight I'll take
     E            
 the long way home
     A       E/G# 
 And drink until I
 F#m     E      D  
 can't remember you
          E           A 
 Or why I ever started
 D           E       
  If I can't hold you
       A        E/G#  
 Gonna fold you like a
 F#m      E        D   
 note and keep you here
 E      A 
 With me
 
 Verse 2:
 E7                  A   
 Thought about your smile
        E7             A      
 On the car ride up to Madison
     D         A/C#    Bm 
 Are you still letting go?
     D         A/C#    Bm 
 Are you still letting go?
                 E7             A 
 Cause I've been trying to move on
         E7              A   
 But I'm feeling so damn lost
     D   A/C# Bm  
 Without your love
    D    A/C# Bm  A E 
 Without your love
 
 (Repeat Chorus)
 
           D    
 I want you here
 E      
 With me
 
 Interlude: F#m--E--
 
 Chorus 2:
     D               
 So tonight I'll take
     E            
 the long way home
     A          E/G# 
 And drink with me
  F#m      E         D 
 until the sun comes up
         E              A 
 look at what we started
 D           E       
  If I can't hold you
       A        E/G#  
 Gonna fold you like a
 F#m      E        D   
 note and keep you here
 E      A 
 With me
