Bb Csus2 Dm
It's such a long shot, everything that we've got
Csus2 Bb Csus2 Dm
Just living on this rock surrounded by the sea
Csus2 Bb Csus2 Dm
With our shoes off, balancing on roof tops
Csus2 Bb Csus2 Dm
You put your faith in preachers, I put my faith in me

Given time, we could've seen all the things he could have been
G
If he tried
Dm
But he settled for the English dream, bathed in mediocracy
G
Stood in line

(Verse)
It's all there underneath,
Everything we'll ever need,
You and I.
Look around and you will see,
Broken minds and shattered dreams,
Wasted time.
(Pre Chorus)
But I don't mind losing sleep,
Squeezing through the cracks between,
Day and Night.
[Chorus]
It's such a long shot,
Everything that we've got,
Just living on this rock,
Surrounded by the sea.
With our shoes off,
Balancing on rooftops,
You put your faith in preachers,
I put my faith in me.
(Verse)
Given time we could've seen,
All the things he could've been,
If he'd tried.
But he settled for the English dream,
Bathed in mediocrity,
Stood in line.
(Pre Chorus)
But that's not enough for me,
I will kick and I will scream,
Tell you why.
[Chorus]
(Bridge)
I don't wanna waste your time
I don't wanna waste your time
[Chorus X2]

but he doesn't play it on the live versions on YouTube (

[Note that on the video he's playing on a guitar tuned lower than this, but the capo
makes it the same tuning so you can play along]
