Long Way

    D                         
The lobbists get breakfast and 
 G             D
discuss their strategies
        D                       
And the newsman seems excited to 
   G                D
report the killing spree
    G              D              
Put advertisements on the shirts 
  A         D
of dying refugees
           G           D        A
And it's a long, long, long way back
       G        D          A     
It's a long way back if we can't 
         D
find the keys


[Verse 2]
    D                           
The collective voice's mouth has 
         G               D
somehow lost its wisdom tooth
       D                      
In the private rocket launcher 
           G                D
corporate sponsored voting booth
    G                  D          
And just because you repeat a lie,
    A                 D
 it won't make it the truth
          G           D        A
No it's a long, long, long way down
       G        D               A
It's a long way down if there's 
      D
no parachute


[Verse 3]
    D                          
And all the paid-off scientists 
   G              D
resisting to the bone
     D                         
They just discovered that polar 
                    G            
bears don't give a damn about the 
      D
new phone
    G                D            
And people living in glass houses 
A             D
shouldn't fly drones
          G           D        A
No it's a long, long, long way home

       G        D                
It's a long way home when you're 
A        D
walking alone


[Spoken bridge]
D
So stay together now
D
Here we go!


[Chorus]
     G
Just turn
      D
Turn around
    G        D      A
And feel yourself unbound
     G
Just turn
     D
Turn around
      G          D       A       
See beneath your feet is only 
    D
common ground


[Verse 4]
        D                       G 
And the oil men get dinner on a 
           D
tray of subsidies
    D                             
And bullets in the name of God go 
G          D
flying overseas
    G               D             
But if their savior came right now
        A             D
 they'd nail him to a tree
              G           D        
'Cause it's a long, long, long way 
A
off
       G        D           A    
It's a long way off if it's off 
          D
just three degrees


[Verse 5]
    D                              
The wind carries a whisper and it's
 G               D
 starting to get loud
D                                 
You can't fool the youth who see 
   G                D
the truth behind the shroud
    G                        D    
The trees in the forest that 
                  A             
haven't fallen are the ones that 
     D
make the sound
           G           D        A
And it's a long, long, long way down
       G           D        A
It's a long, long, long way down
           G             D        
But it's a long way from over if 
  A        D
we all turn around
            G             D       
Yeah it's a long way from over if 
   A        D
we all turn around


[Other]
        G              D
And you turn yourself around
        G              A
And you turn yourself around
        G              D
And you turn yourself around
 A                    D
That's what it's all about
