Intro: G  D  Em 

Verse 1: 
G             D                 Em 
 The smartest men, they built a rocket, 
G               D       Em       C  
 Aimed it at a target, far, far, far away
G           D                   Em           
 But by the time they knew they lost it, 
       G               D           Em  
It was a long way, was a long way, was a long way
      G                 D                 Em   
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way off

Verse 2: 
G             D               Em  
 The smartest men, they saw a world with
G            D         Em       C        
 Corners and endings, far, far, far away
G          D               Em   
 When they drew it out and searched it
          G                D                Em                       
They were a long way, were a long way, were a long way
      G                 D                 Em    
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way

 The erudite composed a thesis
G              D      Em       C       
 Everything we see is all, all, all there is
G          D         Em    
 But as an apophatic mystic, 
      G                 D                 Em   
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way 
      G                 D                 Em   
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way off

      G                 D                 Em         
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way 
      G                 D                 Em  
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way 
      G                 D                 Em            G (hold)   
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way off 

Bridge / ENDING: 
          G        D              Em          C
When the waves of time wash the shores stark clean 
        G   D         Em     C          
Of the memories, the last of me
         G       D           Em      C      
With my castles gone to the constant sea
           G        D    Em      C 
Will you stay with me, stay with me?
