E                   B  A
Such a long way to go

E                           B                A
Such a strong pull from the upworld undertow

                  C#m       B
Nothing seems to happen

        A           E     C#m
when I wish upon a star

B                   A                  E
Down here where the bullet bills are
[Verse 2]
E                     B  A
Such a long life to live

E                   B          A
Only so much of myself left to give

               C#m       B
We'd all stick together

            A                 E
if we were standing on Zanzibar

          E          B                      A
It's just me and my cap down here where the bullet bills are
[Bridge]
A                         F#m  A
At the bottom of the maze

E
Knocked down all day

                           A          B
All day, every day for the rest of my days
[Verse 3]
E                     B  A
Such a long line behind

E                                   B              A
I know why I'm here, not sure what you all have in mind

             C#m               B
No one will remember this run,

A                  E
not gonna leave a memoir

                          B
Just a ghostly crackling afterglow

A
Down here where the bullet bills are
