We're taking the long way home

Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere
Yeah, you know we took our time to get there
We're hiding out in a dream
Catching fire like kerosene (Kerosene)
And you know I'd never let you down
Till the Sun comes up, we can own this town
Something like make-believe
Living in a movie scene

We know this is the way it's supposed to be

Chorus:
So we're taking the long way home (Taking the long way—)
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
Talking 'bout nothing, yeah, whatever, baby
So we're taking the long way home (Taking the long way—)

D#m            A#m
Hitting every red light
B               F#
Kissing at the stop signs darling
D#m         A#m        B
Green Day's on the radio
D#m                A#m
And everything is alright
B                          F#
Now we're turning off the headlights darling
D#m         A#m        B
We're just taking it slow

So we're taking the long way home
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone

Chorus:
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
Talking 'bout nothing, yeah, whatever, baby
So we're taking the long way home

Hittin' every red light (Red light)
Kissing at the stop signs, darling
Green Day's on the radio (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And everything is alright (Alright)
Now we're turning off the headlights, darling
We're just taking it slow

We're taking the long way home (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
We're taking the long way home (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
We're taking the long way home
