[Verse]
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]
      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
