Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Basically going quickly from Dsus2 - D a few times then ending on Dsus4
before changing to Asus2 - A and ending on Asus4
then
The verses consist of these same pattern, for simplicity I'm just going to label the
chords D* and A* for the patterns above
Yeah, it's been a lonely road
I've been out singing about love with a heart of stone
That's when the going got tough
I spent some lonely nights on the longest highway home
Chorus
This is the longest highway I've been on
On the loneliest day you've ever known
Verse 2
This one goes out to the fools
All you boys in the back hanging out, you got a love back home
But when you're with your friends
There's no goddamn place in the world that you'd rather be
No!
Chorus
This is the longest highway I've been on
On the loneliest day you've ever known
When the words that we say keep on coming out wrong
On the longest highway home
Bridge
There was nothing I could do or say
Those lonely days still bother me
There was nothing I could say or do
Those lonely nights still bother you
Yeah, it's been a lonely road
I've been out spillin' my guts, but my guts don't know
Feels like the top of the world
But do we want to spend the rest of our lives alone?
Last Chorus: same as before
