Am 
Its all there underneath  
                                     
everything we love and need

you and I 
Am  
Look around you will see  
                                           
broken minds and shattered dreams  
         Dm    Em 
wasted time 
Am 
But I don't mind losing sleep 
                                               
squeezing through the cracks between  
          Dm     Em 
day and night

surrounded by the sea

With our shoes off  
             Em 
balancing on rooftops 
                      F 
you put your faith in preachers  
                  Am 
I put my faith in me 


Verse 2:
 

      Am 
Given time we could have seen  

all the things he could have been 
         Dm    Em 
if you tried  
Am 
But he settled for the english dream 

bathed in mediocrity 
           Dm      Em 
stood in line 
Am 
But thats not enough for me 

I will kick and scream  
          Dm     Em 
tell you why
