longshot

verse 1 :
Am
its all there underneath

everything we love and need
Dm Em
you and i
Am
look around you will see

broken minds and shattered dreams
Dm Em
wasted time
Am
but i don’t mind losing sleep

squeezing through the cracks between
Dm Em
day and night

chorus :
Dm
its such a longshot
Em
everything that we’ve got
F
just living on this rock
Am
surrounded by the sea
Dm
with our shoes off
Em
balancing on rooftops
F
you put your faith in preachers
Am
i put my faith in me

verse 2 :

Am
given time we could have seen

all the things he could have been
Dm Em
if you tried
Am
but he settled for the english dream

bathed in mediocrity
Dm Em
stood in line
Am
but thats not enough for me

i will kick and scream
Dm Em
tell you why

chorus :
Dm
its such a longshot
Em
everything that we’ve got
F
just living on this rock
Am
surrounded by the sea
Dm
with our shoes off
Em
balancing on rooftops
F
you put your faith in preachers
Am
i put my faith in me
