From the album "Relentless" (2023) Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/track/4bSX8mSH7puAFxV4cOJC5k?si=36099f1f5c9945d3 [Intro] | G | G | G | G | [Verse 1]
  G                                   Bm         Em      G   Bm   C
I think sometimes I'd been better off being born blind

G                                       Bm             Em      G   Bm   C
 Then I wouldn't have these dark images run through my mind

Am                 Em         Am              Bm
Lost and greed and anger, and violence within reach

     Fmaj7                Em            C  D/C  C    D/C
Full dark would seem like sunrise on an Ibizan  beach
[Verse 2]
        G                                   Bm              Em      G   Bm   C
And the things I see that others see while looking at their phone

G                                     Bm         Em      G   Bm   C
 Disturbing lost childhood dreams and being all alone

    Am               Em              Am           Bm
The joy of laughter, innocence, lighthearted interaction

Fmaj7               Em           C        D/C  C      D/C
Crushed beneath the force of the addict's satisfaction
[Chorus]
Bm                      F#m
Look away, look away, I challenge you to try

Bm                               F#m
Look the other way, and look somebody in the eye

    Em                  F#m             E          Esus4  E  Esus4
And while you're at it, please consider taking me along

  C                          D7
I tried to look away but the pull was much too strong
[Instrumental] | G | Bm | C | Am | Am | | Em | Em | Am | Am | Bm | Bm | | Fmaj7 | Fmaj7 | Em | Em | | C | C | D/C | D/C | [Verse 3]
    Am                Em                Am             Bm
And words that better never should have been spoken at all

    Fmaj7          Em                C         D/C     C    D/C
Are written in the toilets of every school and nursery wall
[Chorus]
Bm                      F#m
Look away, look away, I challenge you to try

Bm                               F#m
Look the other way, and look somebody in the eye

    Em                  F#m             E          Esus4  E  Esus4
And while you're at it, please consider taking me along

  C                          D7
I tried to look away but the pull was much too strong
[Outro] | G | G | G | G | G | G | G |
