[F#m]

[F#m]
It's [E] a long way down to the bottom, we've been [F#m] racing
Coughing my lungs up, I'm a desi-a-lani, becoming a risk to myself
It's a long way down to the bottom, and [F#m] we're racing
The radio silence and the anarchists, gather in names, dates and lists, we're burning
[E] It's a long way down to the bottom, that [F#m] we've been racing
[E] Oh how you move me,
[F#m] truly
[A] Oh how you set my [F#m] heart a-blow
[G#]
Shadowing in with the crowds, I notice somebody painted [F#m] an X on her back
It's [A] a [E] long way down to the bottom, and [F#m] we're racing
Some streets have the dark, it hurts, even on the edge or above
It knows [A] it's [E] a long way down to the bottom, and [F#m] we've been racing
[D] Even the guards as they gaze down on [E] us, know that there's no one to be saved from us
[F#m] They keep turning away, turning [A] away
[D] We're singing along with the righteous people, [E] the bullets will rain down from the mosques and steeples
[F#m] They keep turning away, turning [E] away
[F#m] Taste for wine and a [E] woman's forgiveness, [F#m] a man's in decline, holds a nasty business
[E] It's a long way down to the bottom, and [F#m] we've been racing
Our blood is no thicker than this water, [E] my brother, [F#m] you'll find that's the one way or the other
It's [E] a long way down to the bottom, that [F#m] we've been racing
[E] [B]
[F#m]
[B]
[E]
[F#m]
[D] Even the clouds that send the rains down on [E] us, see a horizon that goes way beyond us
[F#m] They keep drifting away, drifting [A] away
[D] While down in the dark, in the teak-tiled galleys, [E] time's running out, and that's the bills to tally
[F#m] We keep chipping away, chipping [E] away
We keep chipping away, [D] chipping away
[E]
[F#m] We
[A]
[D]
[E]
[F#m]
[E] keep chipping away, chipping away
[F#m] Sliding along with the [A] vulcanista, [F#m] balling back down the distance
[E] It's a long way down to the bottom, that [F#m] we've been racing
I'm rising up strong like a snake that's [F#] chomped, [F#m] I had some bruise here on my arm
[F#m] It's [E] a long way down to the bottom, [G#] that we've [F#m] been racing
