Chords
	 
[Verse]
F#
Long black Limousine
Shiniest car I've ever seen
B
The back seat is nice and clean
F#
She rides as quiet as a dream
[Verse]
C# B F#
Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground
C# B F#
I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down
C# B F#
Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud
B C#
With me riding in this car, and you flying through them clouds
[Chorus]
B F#
I've had some time to think about you
B F#
And watch the sun set like a stone
B Ebm
I've had some time to think about you
C# F#
On the long ride home
[Verse]
F#
One day I took your tiny hand
Put your finger in the wedding band
B
Your daddy gave a piece of land
F#
We laid ourselves the best of plans
[Verse]
C# B F#
Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed
C# B F#
Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said
C# B F#
How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead
B C#
I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red
[Chorus]
B F#
I've had some time to think about you
B F#
And watch the sun set like a stone
B Ebm
I've had some time to think about you
C# F#
On the long ride home
B F#
Headlights staring at the driveway
B C#
The house is dark as it can be
B Ebm
I go inside and all is silent
C#
And it seems as empty as the inside of me
B F#
I've had some time to think about you
B F#
And watch the sun set like a stone
B Ebm
I've had some time to think about you
C# B
On the long, oh the long
C#
On the long
B F#
Oh the long ride home
