1000 Miles Apart

Tom: G

[INTRO] C  D4 Bm  C  (2x)

C                  D4      Bm               C
I wonder when this poison seed made a root and grew a weed
C               D4         Bm               C
I wonder when I taught my feet not to walk down certain streets
C              D4          Bm               C
I want to feel what I believe: that we are all the same
C                     D4           Bm         C
It's not our houses, it's our hearts 1000 miles apart

C  D4 Bm  C  (2x)    C (4x)
Uhhhhh.....

C               D4             Bm                 C
You stay there, and I'll stay here, into our corners we disappear
C                   D4         Bm                   C
And we don't ever have to talk, 'cause you like hiphop and I like rock
C                       D4              Bm                  C
But sometimes thoughts hurt just as bad as striking cheeks with hands
C                          D4       Bm          C
It's less our homes and more our hearts 1000 miles apart

C  D4 Bm  C  (2x)
Uhhhhh.....

C      D4      Bm       C
When will we have eyes to see?
C      D4 Bm   C
When will we learn?
C         D4  Bm        C
Will we ever have eyes to see
C                D4   Bm   C
That from our colours we learn?

C  D4 Bm  C

C                  D4               Bm                C
A change of heart, a change of tune, can we forgive each other's wounds?
C               D4               Bm                      C
Can we cut down this fence of weeds, and neighbors, close as brothers, be?
C                    D4   Bm           C
Cannot love conquer even when we don't look the same?
C                     D4           Bm          C
'Cause we don't have to keep our hearts 1000 miles apart

Bm           C
A 1000 miles apart .... (2x)
C  D4 Bm  C  (2x)     C
Uhhhhh.....
