DEmGA
[Verse 1]
DEm
All the way, all the way, all the way to Nashville
GA
we talked about God and the Devil.
DEm
Everyone I know can sense Armageddon,
GD
we want to believe in something, we’re unsettled.
[Pre-Corus]
GADG
My grandfather had a telescope and a magnifying glass,
GA
through the scope on starry nights we saw forever
DGAD
and in the morning Florida sun I burned the grass with my magnifying glass.
[Chorus]
DEmGD
Look long, look long, look long, mm.
[Verse 2]
DEm
There’s a reason, there’s a reason that they call it a Hail Mary,
GA
it’s all or nothing on a prayer.
DEm
On the brink of loss we take our last shot,
GD
with my shaky faith will you still be there.
[Pre-Corus]
GA
My grandmother had Apollo mission glasses,
DG
etched in red white and blue commemoration.
GA
I’m no AWOL patriot because I’ve dodged your party lines,
DGGmD
I will always love my troubled nation this beautiful land.
[Chorus]
DEmGD
Look long, look long, look long, mm.
[Bridge]
EmD
Me and Marsha went walking up in Northern Minnesota
CG
on a night so freezing cold the earth stood still.
EmA
She talked about the prophecies and the future generations
AmBmCD
and said: "will you keep the faith?"
DAGD
I said: "I will, I will, I will".
[Verse 3]
DEm
So we argue and we wrestle and we claim conviction,
GA
but we might as well be flipping coins.
DEm
More would be revealed if we’d adjust the focus
GD
on the shortest distance between two points.
[Pre-Corus]
GA
Because these aren’t the best of times and they’re not the worst,
DG
just like the edge of the Earth is an illusion.
GA
God bless our brave little hearts and our inherent limitations
BbCD
and our short-sighted plans and our collusion.
[End-Chorus]
DEmGD
Look long, look long, look long, mm.
DEmGD
Look long, look long, look long, mm.
