Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

4x

I've got a job down at the brewery, so I don't mind taking my work home with me.

 You live, you love, you laugh, you cry, life just slides on by

 But in my mind I'm playing football in the rain you're standing on the line, calling out

my name

I close my eyes nothing ever feels the same

Chorus

 Sometimes I take the long way home I walk down to the sea

 I look out across the water and remember how it used to be oh

I've got a car but I walk most everywhere so I can feel the earth, feel the sun and

breathe the air

I stop and say hello, no one answers back.

Well I'm doing o.k. I've got friends and family

People to love and people who love me

But I still wish I could see my old town once again

Chorus

 Sometimes I take the long way home I walk down to the sea

 I look out across the water and remember how it used to be oh

Instrumental break

 End with:

We bar-b-que on Sundays watch the game on channel nine

the it's down to the pub for a pint a glass of wine

 sing karaoke to each other "He ain't heavy... he's my brother"

Chorus

2x

 Sometimes I take the long way home I walk down to the sea

 I look out across the water and remember how it used to be oh

End with intro
