Chords

[Verse 1]
Dm
It's all there underneath
everything we love and need
        G
you and I

Dm
Look around you will see
broken minds and shattered dreams
         G
wasted time

            Bb
But I don't mind losing sleep

           C
squeezing through the cracks between

          G
day and night
[Chorus]
            Bb
It's such a longshot

C               Dm
everything that we've got

            Bb
just living on this rock

C                 Dm
surrounded by the sea

         Bb
With our shoes off

C            Dm
balancing on rooftops

                      Bb
you put your faith in preachers

         C       Dm
I put my faith in me
[Verse 2]
      Dm
Given time we could have seen
all the things he could have been
         G
if you tried

       Dm
But he settled for the english dream
bathed in mediocrity
           G
stood in line

Bb
But thats not enough for me

        Cm
I will kick and scream

         G
tell you why
[Chorus]
            Bb
It's such a longshot

C               Dm
everything that we've got

            Bb
just living on this rock

C                 Dm
surrounded by the sea

         Bb
With our shoes off

C            Dm
balancing on rooftops

                      Bb
you put your faith in preachers

         C       Dm
I put my faith in me
