            G    C
His eyes appear vacant
                  G   D
He'd taken more than his share
             G       C
Trying hard not to awaken
                 G  D
The voice of regret in his ear
            G        C
He can't escape the timeline
                G   D
So much worse than he had feared
          G  C
Lived every moment
                  G     D
Wishing the past would disappear

Chorus:
             G       C
He took the long way
        D   C
On the freeway
             G       C
He took the long way
        Em D C G D
On the freeway

She was his all and everything
But her strength it needed space
Her love was but a haunting
She left but never went away

Chorus:
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway

She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way

Am
Well, it couldn't be had
                   C
What he wanted to hold
                 G C
He dared to let go
               D  C
He should of known

Chorus:
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
