The Distance taby ukulele według Iron Eyes Cody

A C# D x2

 

A           C#m      D

Bloodstains on faded pictures

       A

And it comes in waves

       C#m              D

As the shouts turn into whispers

              A

Thoughts keep running through her brain

         C#m                        D

Make the pounding in her heart beat quicker

        A

Says it all comes down to the run-around

         C#m                D

And as a book slips in her fingers

             A                                      C#m       D

Says I don't really think the drugs they've got can pull it off

             A                               C#m        D

So I'm gonna sell my blood to a man I met in Simon's Rock

           A                   C#m      D

He's got a plan to put me in a diamond top

           A                                C#m      D

And make a grand playin' geriatric glam nostalgia rock

 

              A

Shaken to the core

Breaks in the door

          C#m                        D

Makes out twenty-five laying on the floor

                   A

All praying to the Lord

 

But the praying's ignored

                 C#m                      D

Saying that they should'a been praying before any war

 

     A                                       C#m

And  woke that night to the rain of nuclear warheads

        D    A                   C#m       D

And she said oh my soul's gotten cold and lost

                      A

And I'm throwing it out

 

A

Oh, won't you go

         C#m               D

Make the most of a bad existence

              A                 C#m                 D
Cause you're so much older than she ever planned to live with

              A

And she says: Everybody knows the difference

        C#m                D

Between right to try and a life of lies

          A                       C#m      D

And if you go the distance, go the distance

                A

I'll fall behind

 

A        C#m           D

Eighteen with a sex addiction

       A                            C#m             D

And he states his dreams in written online erotica fiction

            A

Accounts of places he ain't been

         C#m            D

About relationships and vision

          A                                    C#m

Types: Tomorrow night's been a long time coming

                     D

If they'd have only listened

 

               A

Shaking in the night, wakes and he writes

            C#m                      D

Twenty-five ways you can waste your life

                      A

Says he takes what he likes

Breaks with the light

          C#m                     D

Makes for Boston with his fate decided

        A                                      C#m

Says he prays that every thought's been pre-assigned to him

             D
Cause it's blinding to know

A                   C#m      D

Oh my soul's gotten cold and lost

                       A

And I'm throwing it out

 

A

Oh, won't you go

         C#m               D

Make the most of a bad existence

              A                 C#m                 D
Cause you're so much older than she ever planned to live with

              A

And she says: Everybody knows the difference

        C#m                D

Between right to try and a life of lies

          A                       C#m      D

And if you go the distance, go the distance

 

            A   C#m  D

I'll fall behind

             A

I'll fall behind
