[Verse]
C                G
Duty, who's your master?
             F
Who gave you fingers?
                C
Who gave you to me?
        C                     G
And why do we always dream of disaster
        F                                  C
When we pay our dues to disaster with some loyalty?
    G                C            G                          F
And when its work is done, and we ought to just pick up and run, we
Ab                                        C
Sleep in the place we have slept for so long...


[Chorus]
   Am            G       F           Em        Dm        C
So long, for so long, so long in the place we should run from


[Verse]
    C                    G                     F
And when I, when I have forgotten, when I have forgotten me how to
           C
Stand and sing
       C                   G           F
I will raise up, raise one finger, one finger of the truth that wears no
C
Ring
    G                C             G                       F
And when its work is done, and the stitch of my smile has come
             Ab                             Am
Undone, I'll tell you why I wore it for so long...


[Chorus]
   Am            G       F           Em        Dm        C
So long, for so long, so long in the place we should run from


[Bridge]
       C                                      G
But I wasn't so drunk that I didn't hear you dreaming
    Bb                                                  F                                        C
All seized up and wretched and baying blue hell at the ceiling of the room we're always dying to leave alright

[Verse]
C                 G
Duty, who's your master?
              F
Who gave you fingers?
                C
Who gave you to me?
        C                          G
And why are we always dreaming of disaster
        F                                 C
When we live our lives so careless and so comfortably?
      G               C           G            F        Ab
O but underneath this song, I can hear another song, it tells me I'm
                     Am
Not wrong to stay so long...


[Chorus]
   Am            G       F           Em        Dm        C
So long, for so long, so long in the place we should run from
   Am            G       F           Em        Dm        C
So long, for so long, so long in the place we should run from

(repeat last phrase 3x)

And I wasn't so drunk that I didn't hear you dreaming
