Inside story Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
It's [Am]like something just [C]over the hori[Am]zon,
[C]Wanna take a walk,
maybe see what we can find,
Look long and hard,
look near and far,
But above all things remember
always look inside,

[Verse 2]
Listen [C]in into [Am]these [C]words from a citizen of earths surface,
lets try and
Re[Am]wire the circuits,
determine the purpose
Meanwhile i'm striving for perfect but homie
perfect takes [C]practice, and im
Finding these days and times [Am]i'm
always so damn distracted,

[Verse 3]
They hit [Am]you like, shop here, wear this,
want this, love this, be this, buy
This, buy that,
Log in, sign up, tune in, click here,
watch this, read up, write [F]back,

[Verse 4]
So much too know, [F]and
so many [Am]things to own,
Tv in your home and your mobile phone
make sure that your never really
Alone
And its pathetic,
like a global epidemic,
Attention span so fragmen[G]ted,
So addicted to being connected,
We [Em]now getting u[G]pdates by [F]the second,
Got us all time wasting,
[Am]But [F]the [G]whole world look,[Am]
getting high on informa[G]tion.

[Verse 5]
[Am]Post- generation y babies they call them the digital natives,
hide be[C]hind
Their monitors,
This technology kills imagination,
excuse my [F]cynicism, But a world where
Every kids best friend [Am]is a comp[F]uter,
is [G]a system failure headed for an

[Verse 6]
Apathetic future.
[Am]Just a few centuries back they made maps
of a flat world by candle [C]light
Now the whole worlds at your fingertips,
map right down to your street by
Satel[F]lite,
So advanced from where we [Am]started its
all [G]so [Am]complexified,
Brand names buy ad- space in your mind,
but they'll never get whats
Inside.

[Verse 7]
I wasn't there when they wrote [Am]the rules,
but I do my best to [G]follow [Am]them
In this world of machines,
we [G]starving for oxygen
[F]All I can offer is these wor[Am]ds that I wri[F]te
[G]and I only give them what I know
[Am]So I give them what's inside

[Verse 8]
[Am]Said I wasn't there when they wrote the rules,
but I do my best to follow
[G]Them in [Am]this world of machines,
we [G]starving for [C]oxy[F]gen,
Where were you the day that [Am]humanity [G]died,
[F]searching [G]for signs of life [Am]to
Reconnect with what's inside
[G]

[Verse 9]
Somewhere there's a [Am]room full [C]of men
in suits looking up at rows of
Number[Am]s,
Terrified by the red in the eyes,
as arrows point down from the pressure
Their under,
They [C]say we might drown in our own [Am]greediness,
living [C]beyond our means,
Chasing [Am]dreams that
we learn off MTV cribs

[Verse 10]
Look at what we [Am]did,
smog fills the sky and the cars line up at the servo,
[C]And I can't help but think to myself this
can't be the way it was supposed

[Verse 11]
To go
[F]On the nightly news floods and bushfires, earthquakes and tidal wav[G]es,
Temperatures rising, army's fighting,
[Am]bombs go off and sirens blaze
We just trying to get by and occupy
our spot [C]on the timeline,
So we change the channel to sex,
drugs and violence program for prime
[F]Time,
Sit back in our chairs as a [Am]living room
[F]voyeurism, as [G]reality TV turns all of

[Verse 12]
Life into a competition,
[Am]
Airbrushed magazine pages give us false idols to worship,
got [C]us all so
Depressed,
we can't live up to picture perfect,
[F]Sometimes I just want to unplug and go [G]back to basic[F]s,
and I wonder [G]what
My story might have been like

[Verse 13]
somewhere else in history's pages,
[Am]But here we stand,
sons and daughters of [C]colonialism crossed over water
Just to be making our homes
on stolen land, [F]an d me,
I don't know the plan, i'm [Am]just here to play my [F]part,
do my [G]thing, walk my
Path, fork my shit, make my mark,
I swear I [Am]want to make a difference
From the bottom of my heart,
But I don't how [G]to fix it, man,
I wouldn't know where [Am]to start, [F]so advan[Am]ced
From where we started, images of the pro[G]duction line,
[Am]we out of touch
With what's in[Am]side,

[Verse 14]
I wasn't there when they wrote [Am]the rules,
But I do my best to [G]follow them in [Am]this world of machines,
[G]we starving for
Oxygen,
[F]All I can offer is these wor[Am]ds tha[F]t I write
[G]and I only give them what I know
So [Am]I give them what's inside,
[G]

[Verse 15]
[Am]Said I wasn't there when they wrote the rules,
but I do my best to [G]follow
Them in [Am]this world of machines,
[G]we starving for oxy[F]gen,
Where were you the day that human[G]ity died,
[F]searching [G]for signs of life to
Recon[Am]nect with what's inside
