Look Away Chords

(ver. 1)
Pretenders
[Intro]
| G     | G     | G     | G     |
 
 
[Verse 1]
  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
 
 
[Verse 2]
        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
 
 
[Chorus]
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
 
 
[Instrumental]
| G     | Bm    | C     | Am    | Am    |
| Em    | Em    | Am    | Am    | Bm    | Bm    |
| Fmaj7 | Fmaj7 | Em    | Em    |
| C     | C     | D/C   | D/C   |
 
 
[Verse 3]
    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
 
 
[Chorus]
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
 
 
[Outro]
| G     | G     | G     | G     | G     | G     | G     |
