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
