The Rifles - Long Walk Back Chords

[Intro]
G D C D G
 
[Verse 1]
G
For the first time in my life
D   C
I'm feeling plain ordinary
C
And I don't have the fight
D  G
To carry on with the melee
G
Cos I don't have the shoes
D    C
Like my soul's dead and buried
C
Running off with the blues
 
[Instrumental]
D G D C
 
[Verse 2]
D  G
   But one day at a time they say
D   C
And if you're knowing where you're going
C
You'll be finding your way
D   G
But when I lay down
              D  C
My tired head is going over and over
                 N.C
Cos the feeling feels dead
 
[Chorus]
G                                      D   C
I've been far and I've managed to stop the cracks
                                       D    G
I've been wide and I've taken the long walk back
                                  D   C
Nine times out of ten I'll be wanting his
                                   D     G
This time don't tell me that's all there is
 
[Instrumental]
D C D G
 
[Verse 3]
G
For the first time in my life
D   C
I'm feeling plain ordinary
C
Am I wasting my time
D   G
Cos I look for an answer
G
But I don't get a clue
D    C                                             D   G
Like somebody took my rhythm and just left me with the blues
 
[Instrumental]
D C D G
 
[Verse 4]
G
But who knows 'cos if I take five
D C
I might miss an opportunity if one should arise
D   G                             D  C
But when I lay down my tired mind is going over and over
                     N.C.
I hope the feeling's alive
 
[Chorus]
G                                      D   C
I've been far and I've managed to stop the cracks
                                       D    G
I've been wide and I've taken the long walk back
                                  D   C
Nine times out of ten I'll be wanting his
                                         D
This time don't tell me that's all there is
 
[Bridge]
D                C                                   D
How will I start feeling something might be about to change
              C                                   D
When will I believe in something strong enough to chase
                    C                                D
I know that I don't mean half of the stupid things I say
                  C                D             G
But lately I just feel like taking the long walk away

[Chorus]
G                                      D   C
I've been far and I've managed to stop the cracks
                                       D    G
I've been wide and I've taken the long walk back
                                  D   C
Nine times out of ten I'll be wanting his
                                   D     G
This time don't tell me that's all there is
