Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Long Way Off” dari Sam Fender:
Capo 4
[Intro]
Cmaj7 Am Em D
( I've seen )
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 Am
I've seen enough of it
Em
The sides are all cemented
D
Their incentives look the same
Cmaj7 Am
Are they vetted in the same ways?
Em
As the little guy puts blood and tears
D Cmaj7
Into pushing deadweight on the capital steps
Am Em
Bleeding out for a caricature of a '50s salesman
D Cmaj7
Hare checklist, tickin' every box
D
Dead for what?
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Am
Standing on the side, I never was the silent type
Em D
All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white
Cmaj7 Am
I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right
Em D
We're still a long way off
Cmaj7 D
We're still a long way off
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 Am
Some get along with it
Em
They drag around from town to town
D
With a pretty lie that hoodwinked many
Cmaj7 Am
of my loved ones
Em
And I owe it to my folks
D
for giving me an understanding
Cmaj7 Am
of a world that shot my people down
Em
The hungry and divided play
D Cmaj7
into the hands of the man who put them there
D
So it goes
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Am
Standing on the side, I never was the silent type
Em D
All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white
Cmaj7 Am
I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right
Em D
We're still a long way off
Cmaj7 Am Em D
We're still a long way off
Cmaj7 Am Em D
We're still a long way off
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Am
Standing on the side, I never was the silent type
Em D
All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white
Cmaj7 Am
I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right
Em D
We're still a long way off
Cmaj7 Am Em D
We're still a long way off
Cmaj7 Am Em D
We're still a long way off
