D                     Bm7
 They ask why I take so long to get home
     G                        A
 I know that I live close but I took the long road
D                         Bm7

 No fighting for control if I take the long road


D
 I'ma take the long way home
Bm7
 'Cause walking through that door's not easy
G
 I don't walk fast for a reason
A
 And I don't care if anyone sees me
D
 I was happy until this xxxx happened
Bm7
 They all laugh 'cause they don't understand it
G
 I get violent at school when I've had it
A
 I never get anything that I'm asking
  D
 Four o'clock when I open up the door
  Bm7
 Half their stuff is laying on the floor
  G
 Yeah, here we go back inside of the hail storm
  A
 Mama at the table telling me she can't take more
               D
 Sayin' "I'll leave soon" but you're lying
                   Bm7
 I don't see your bags packed you're not trying
              G
 What do you see in him and his demons?
                A
 If I call the cops you can't keep secrets


D                     Bm7
 They ask why I take so long to get home
     G                        A
 I know that I live close but I took the long road

Interlude: D Bm7 G A

D
 It's been a pretty bad day
Bm7
 Rain filling up my bag
G
 Good thing I don't care about homework
A
 My teacher needs to go and get a soul first
D
 My life at home been a mess
Bm7
 Feels like I been put to the test
G
 Parents never shut up with complaining
 A
 I know life is hard just learn to take it
D                              Bm7
 If I left I wonder if they'd notice
                                             G
 I'd take the cat and not the path they've chosen
                              A
 I'll start a new life once again
                                D
 Sleep in a bag on an old park bench


                      Bm7
 They ask why I take so long to get home
     G                        A
 I know that I live close but I took the long road
D                         Bm7
 There's no screaming or falling out of love
     G                      A
 No fighting for control if I take the long road
