Verse 1:
A5
Its all there underneath 
                                    
everything we love and need 
        D5    E5
you and I
A5 
Look around you will see 
                                          
broken minds and shattered dreams 
         D5    E5
wasted time
A5
But I don't mind losing sleep
                                              
squeezing through the cracks between 
          D5     E5
day and night


Chorus:
              D5           
Its such a longshot 
                E5
everything that we've got 
                F5
just living on this rock 
                  A5
surrounded by the sea 
           D5
With our shoes off 
             E5
balancing on rooftops
                      F5
you put your faith in preachers 
                  A5
I put my faith in me


Verse 2:

      A5
Given time we could have seen 

all the things he could have been
         D5    E5
if you tried 
A5
But he settled for the english dream

bathed in mediocrity
           D5      E5
stood in line
A5
But thats not enough for me

I will kick and scream 
          D5     E5
tell you why


Chorus:
              D5           
Its such a longshot 
                E5
everything that we've got 
                F5
just living on this rock 
                  A5
surrounded by the sea 
           D5
With our shoes off 
             E5
balancing on rooftops
                      F5
you put your faith in preachers 
                  A5
I put my faith in me



Mid-section:

       G5         F5         A5
I dont want to waste your time
       G5         F5         A5          F5
I dont want to waste your time



Chorus:
              F5           
Its such a longshot 
                G5
everything that we've got 
                F5
just living on this rock 
                  A5
surrounded by the sea 
           F5
With our shoes off 
             G5
balancing on rooftops
                      F5
you put your faith in preachers 
                  A5
I put my faith in me



Chorus:
              F5           
Its such a longshot 
                G5
everything that we've got 
                F5
just living on this rock 
                  A5
surrounded by the sea 
           F5
With our shoes off 
             G5
balancing on rooftops
                      F5
you put your faith in preachers 
                  A5
I put my faith in me
