Intro
[Emaj7] [B/F#] [F#/C#] [D] [G#m7] [F#/C#]
Verse 1
Long black limo scene
The shiniest car I've ever seen
The [B]back seat is nice and clean
She [F#]rides as quiet as a train
[C#sus4][F#/C#]Someone [C#]dug a hole six long
[F#sus4]Feeding [B/F#]the [F#/C#]ground
Verse 2
When I say [C#]goodbye to you
And I throw my [B]roses down
[F#]Ain't nothing left at all
[C#]In the end [B]of being frowned
[F#/C#]With me riding [B]in this car
And you flying [F#m/C#][C#/G#]through them clouds
Chorus
[B]I've had some time to think [F#]about it
And [B]watch the sun sink like [F#/C#]a storm
[F#sus2]I've [B/F#]had some time to think [F#/C#]about [D#m]you
On the long [C#]ride home
Verse 3
[F#/C#]
One day I took your tiny head
Put your finger in the wedding band
That [B]gave a piece of life
And laid ourselves [F#]the best of life
40 [C#]years go by with someone [F#]laying in [B/F#]your bed
Verse 4
[F#]40 years [C#]of things you say you [Bm]should have said
[F#]How hard [C#]would it have been to say some kind [B]of words [F#]instead
I wonder [B/F#]as I still have to start [C#]turning red
Chorus
I've [B/F#]had some time to think about [F#]it
And [B]watch the sun sink like [F#sus2]a storm
I've [B]had some time to [F#sus4/C#]think about [D#m]you
On the long [C#]ride home
Verse 5
[F#]
And [B]I'm searching down [F#]the driveway
My [B]house is dark as it can be
[C#]I [B/F#]go inside and on inside
[D#m]And it seems empty [C#]at the inside of me
Chorus
I've [B/F#]had some time to think about [F#]it
And [B]watch the sun sink like a storm
[F#]I've [B]had some time to think about [D#m/A#]you
On the [C#]long ride [B/F#]home
On the [C#]long ride [B]home
On [F#]the long [G#m7/F#][F#][F#sus2][D#m7][C#][F#/C#]ride home
On the long ride home
