[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]
