Long Way Off Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
I've seen e[C]nough of [Am]it
The [Em]sides are all cemented
Their in[D]centives look the same
Are they [C]vetted in the same [Am]ways?
As the [Em]little guy puts blood and tears
Into [D]pushing deadweight
on the capital [C]steps
Bleeding [Am]out for a c[Em]aricature
of a '50s salesman
[D]Hare checklist, tickin' every [C]box
Dead for [Am]what?

[Chorus 1]
[C]Standing on the side,
I never [Am]was the silent type
All the [Em]endless grey conundrums
that are [D]painted black and white
I heard a [C]hundred million voices
sound the [Am]same both left and right
We're still a [Em]long way [D]off
We're still a [C]long way [D]off

[Verse 2]
Some get a[C]long with [Am]it
They [Em]drag around from town to town
With a [D]pretty lie
that hoodwinked many [C]of my loved [Am]ones
I [Em]owe it to my folks
for giving [D]me an understanding
Of a [C]world
Shot my people [Am]down
The [Em]hungry and divided play in[D]to the hands
of the man who put 'em [C]there
So [Am]it goes

[Chorus 2]
[C]Standing on the side,
I never [Am]was the silent type
All the [Em]endless grey conundrums
that are [D]painted black and white
Heard a [C]hundred million voices
sound the [Am]same both left and right
We're still a [Em]long way [D]off

[Interlude 1]
We're still a [C]long way [Am]off
[Em][D]
We're still a [C]long way [Am]off
[Em][D]

[Chorus 3]
[C]Standing on the side,
I never [Am]was the silent type
All the [Em]endless grey conundrums
that are [D]painted black and white
I heard a [C]hundred million voices
sound the [Am]same both left and right
We're still a [Em]long way [D]off

[Outro 1]
We're still a [C]long way [Am]off
[Em][D]
We're still a [C]long way [Am]off
[Em][D][C]
