Long White Coats Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - Mark Brezenski

[VERSE 1]

W[F]atched your paren[Am]ts struggle for e[C]verything they cl[Em]aim

[Fmaj7]Your father fough[C]t the great war, when hi[G]s country called his[Am] name[A5] [Am]

L[F]essons of grit an[Am]d determination is a[C]ll that he displa[Em]yed

T[Fmaj7]he greatest gener[C]ation, we st[G]ill call them that t[Am]oday [A5] [Am]

W[F]hen you outsource [Am]your life to the pre[C]scription of the [Em]day

[Fmaj7]Why did you not l[C]earn there are c[G]onsequences for which you[Am] have[A5] to p[Am]ay

W[F]atched you ride a[Am]n airport wheelchair, when[C] you can walk jus[Em]t fine

[Fmaj7]While a 90 year[C] old beside you,[G] proudly stands in l[Am]ine [A5] [Am]

[CHORUS]

The[A] charlatans of y[Bm]esteryear sold their el[G]ixirs disguised as h[D]ope

T[A]hey made more pro[Bm]mises of paradise than ev[G]en the ca[Gsus4]tholic pop[D]e

Th[A]ey were replaced by p[Bm]ushers on street [G]corners peddling their [D]dope

[A]Hard for them to co[Bm]mpete today with men [G]wearing long w[Gsus4]hite coat[D]s

[VERSE 2]

Y[F]our parents work[Am]ed the fields and fa[C]ctories, no need [Em]for gyms

[Fmaj7]It kept their minds s[C]harp and their b[G]odies sl[Am]im [A5] [Am]

Y[F]ou never heard them[Am] complain about[C] the aches or pai[Em]ns

[Fmaj7]They wore callousse[C]s as much a part[G] of them as their [Am]given[A5] name[Am]s

H[F]ow could you have[Am] witnessed their life and be the p[C]erson you've beco[Em]me

[Fmaj7]Did you simply ignore th[C]e lessons or cho[G]ose to bec[Am]ome s[A5]o num[Am]b

W[F]hen life becomes to[Am]o easy it always co[C]rrupts the mi[Em]nd

[Fmaj7]When people seek the ro[C]ad most traveled, r[G]uination is al[Am]l the[A5]y fin[Am]d

[CHORUS]

The[A] charlatans of y[Bm]esteryear sold their el[G]ixirs disguised as h[D]ope

T[A]hey made more pro[Bm]mises of paradise than ev[G]en the ca[Gsus4]tholic pop[D]e

Th[A]ey were replaced by p[Bm]ushers on street [G]corners peddling their [D]dope

[A]Hard for them to co[Bm]mpete today with men [G]wearing long w[Gsus4]hite coat[D]s

[VERSE 3]
Ho[F]w did you come to think l[Am]ife could be divorce[C]d from what you e[Em]arn

Ho[Fmaj7]w could you watch your p[C]arents fight to live, and this be the [G]lesson that you lear[Am]ned. [A5] [Am]

N[F]o need to leave th[Am]e house for sho[C]pping, just call [Em]the QVC

N[Fmaj7]o need to cook [C]your dinner, piz[G]za delivery is fr[Am]ee [A5] [Am]

A[F] pill to wake [Am]you up, a [C]pill to go to s[Em]leep

A[Fmaj7]nother to hide t[C]he promises to[G] yourself, that you [Am]never[A5] keep[Am]

A[F] pill to tak[Am]e away you[C]r manufactured p[Em]ain

S[Fmaj7]till there aren't[C] enough, to satis[G]fy your long list of[Am] comp[A5]laint[Am]s
