D - A - E - E x 2
[Verse 1]
E D E
Sweat for years on your guitar, trying hard to be a star, it's slow
E D E
You're gonna have to sell your soul, to the Gods of rock n' roll, you know
E D
E
You say good bye, your Mamma cries, you look you Daddy in the eye and go
E D
E
But endless nights in empty bars, the disappointment leaves its scars, they show
[Chorus]
D A E D A E
It's a long way home, it's a long way back to where you belong
D A E D A E
It's a long way home, it's a long way back to where you belong
[Verse 2]
E D E
The drunken nights, the cigarettes, the ladies wearing cocktail dresses, tight
E D
E
Another town on the road ahead, there's cocaine running through your head, tonight
E D E
Guitar singing in your hand life inside a rock n' roll band's alright
E D
E
So pack it up for another show, round and round and round and round you go
[Chorus]
D A E D A E
It's a long way home, it's a long way back to where you belong

It's a long way home, it's a long way back to where you belong

[Verse 3]
E D E
The smell of deceit in the air, those greasy lawyers lay their snares cold
E D
E
The fancy dinners best of wine, those rouges know how to treat you fine, enrolled
E D E
But four hit albums down the line and you still haven't made a dime, sold
E D E
The private jets, the limousines, they dried up with your dreams, foretold
[Chorus]
D A E D A E
It's a long way home, it's a long way back to where you belong
D A E D A E
It's a long way home, it's a long way back to where you belong
D A E D A E
It's a long way home, it's a long way back to where you belong
D A E D A E
It's a long way home, it's a long way back to where you belong
