Intro 
| G     | G     | G     | G     | 



  G                                   Bm         Em      G   Bm   C 
I think sometimes I'd been better off being born blind 
G                                       Bm             Em      G   Bm   C 
 Then I wouldn't have these dark images run through my mind 
Am                 Em         Am              Bm 
Lost and greed and anger, and violence within reach 
     Fmaj7                Em            C  D/C  C    D/C 
Full dark would seem like sunrise on an Ibizan  beach 



        G                                   Bm              Em      G   Bm   C 
And the things I see that others see while looking at their phone 
G                                     Bm         Em      G   Bm   C 
 Disturbing lost childhood dreams and being all alone 
    Am               Em              Am           Bm 
The joy of laughter, innocence, lighthearted interaction 
Fmaj7               Em           C        D/C  C      D/C 
Crushed beneath the force of the addict's satisfaction 


 
Bm                      F#m 
Look away, look away, I challenge you to try 
Bm                               F#m 
Look the other way, and look somebody in the eye 
    Em                  F#m             E          Esus4  E  Esus4 
And while you're at it, please consider taking me along 
  C                          D7 
I tried to look away but the pull was much too strong

    Am                Em                Am             Bm 
And words that better never should have been spoken at all 
    Fmaj7          Em                C         D/C     C    D/C 
Are written in the toilets of every school and nursery wall 



Bm                      F#m 
Look away, look away, I challenge you to try 
Bm                               F#m 
Look the other way, and look somebody in the eye 
    Em                  F#m             E          Esus4  E  Esus4 
And while you're at it, please consider taking me along 
  C                          D7 
I tried to look away but the pull was much too strong
