1000 Miles Apart

Intro 2x: C  D9(11)  Bm  C

C                  D9(11)      Bm              C
I wonder when this poison seed made a root and grew a weed
C               D9(11)         Bm               C
I wonder when I taught my feet not to walk down certain streets
C              D9(11)          Bm              C
I want to feel what I believe: that we are all the same
C                    D9(11)          Bm           C
It's not our houses, it's our hearts a 1000 miles apart

C  D9(11)  Bm   C
Uhhhhhh... (2x)

C               D9(11)              Bm               C
You stay there, and I'll stay here, into our corners we disappear
C                 D9(11)         Bm                    C
And we don't ever have to talk, 'cause you like hiphop and I like rock
C                      D9(11)              Bm                   C
But sometimes thoughts hurt just as bad as striking cheeks with hands
C                       D9(11)          Bm           C
It's less our homes and more our hearts a 1000 miles apart

C  D9(11)  Bm   C
Uhhhhhh... (2x)

C    D9(11)       Bm      C
When will we have eyes to see?
C    D9(11)  Bm    C
When will we live?
C       D9(11)    Bm      C
Will we ever have eyes to see
C             D9(11)     Bm    C
That from our colours we learn?

( C  D9(11)  Bm  C )

C                  D9(11)              Bm               C
A change of heart, a change of tune, can we forgive each other's wounds?
C               D9(11)               Bm                     C
Can we cut down this fence of weeds, and neighbors, close as brothers, be?
C                   D9(11)    Bm           C
Cannot love conquer even when we don't look the same?
C                     D9(11)            Bm           C
'Cause we don't have to keep our hearts a 1000 miles apart

Bm           C
a 1000 miles apart... (2x)

C  D9(11)  Bm   C
Uhhhhhh... (2x)
