1000 Miles Apart

Intro 2x: C  D9(11)  Bm  C

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

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

( C )

C               D9(11)           
You stay there, and I'll stay 
   Bm               C
here, into our corners we disappear
C                 D9(11)     
And we don't ever have to talk, 
    Bm                    C
'cause you like hiphop and I like 
rock

C                      D9(11)    
But sometimes thoughts hurt just 
          Bm                   C
as bad as striking cheeks with hands
C                       D9(11)   
It's less our homes and more our 
       Bm           C
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)        
A change of heart, a change of 
      Bm               C
tune, can we forgive each other's 
wounds?
C               D9(11)           
Can we cut down this fence of 
    Bm                     C
weeds, and neighbors, close as 
brothers, be?
C                   D9(11)    Bm
Cannot love conquer even when we
           C
 don't look the same?
C                     D9(11)     
'Cause we don't have to keep our 
       Bm           C
hearts a 1000 miles apart

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

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