[Verse 1]

It's all there underneath

everything we love and need

you and I

Look around you will see

broken minds and shattered dreams

wasted time

But I don't mind losing sleep

squeezing through the cracks between

day and night

[Chorus]

It's such a longshot

C Dm

everything that we've got

just living on this rock

C Dm

surrounded by the sea

With our shoes off

C Dm

balancing on rooftops

you put your faith in preachers

C Dm

I put my faith in me

[Verse 2]

Given time we could have seen

all the things he could have been

if you tried

But he settled for the english dream

bathed in mediocrity

stood in line

But thats not enough for me

I will kick and scream

tell you why

[Chorus]

It's such a longshot

C Dm

everything that we've got

just living on this rock

C Dm

surrounded by the sea

With our shoes off

C Dm

balancing on rooftops

you put your faith in preachers

C Dm

I put my faith in me

[Mid-section]

G Bb C Dm C

I don't want to waste your ti----me

G Bb C Dm C Bb

I don't want to waste your ti----me

[Chorus 2]

It's such a longshot

C Dm

everything that we've got

just living on this rock

C Dm

surrounded by the sea

With our shoes off

C Dm

balancing on rooftops

you put your faith in preachers

C Dm

I put my faith in me
