Long Way Off

Capo: 4th fret Intro Cmaj7 Am Em D ( I've seen ) [Verse 1] Cmaj7 Am I've seen enough of it Em The sides are all cemented D Their incentives look the same Cmaj7 Am Are they vetted in the same ways? Em As the little guy puts blood and tears D Cmaj7 Into pushing deadweight on the capital steps Am Em Bleeding out for a caricature of a '50s salesman D Cmaj7 Hare checklist, tickin' every box D Dead for what? Chorus Cmaj7 Am Standing on the side, I never was the silent type Em D All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white Cmaj7 Am I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right Em D We're still a long way off Cmaj7 D We're still a long way off [Verse 2] Cmaj7 Am Some get along with it Em They drag around from town to town D With a pretty lie that hoodwinked many Cmaj7 Am of my loved ones Em And I owe it to my folks D for giving me an understanding Cmaj7 Am of a world that shot my people down Em The hungry and divided play D Cmaj7 into the hands of the man who put them there D So it goes Chorus Cmaj7 Am Standing on the side, I never was the silent type Em D All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white Cmaj7 Am I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right Em D We're still a long way off Cmaj7 Am Em D We're still a long way off Cmaj7 Am Em D We're still a long way off Chorus Cmaj7 Am Standing on the side, I never was the silent type Em D All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white Cmaj7 Am I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right Em D We're still a long way off Cmaj7 Am Em D We're still a long way off Cmaj7 Am Em D We're still a long way off
