Scott MacLeod - Dead A Long Time Lyrics

Are we not all marching in line straight enough?
D A
Work’em down to the bone like we give a fuck
A
Pounding
at the pavement, howling like dogs
D A
Brother give us a hand, tell us how long
E
-
A
The show must go on
Strap on the back if you don’t pull your weight
Tow the line peasant
, there ain’t no breaks
Cold cold wind is tearing at your skin
Put a beating down on my believing
It’s the same old song
D A E
So come out with me tonight
D A E
Only till the morning light
D E A
We’ll be dead a long, long time
Solo (chorus cords)
The ups and the downs of this rollercoaster life
Too high and too low, makes my head light
Turning my stomach inside out
I’m getting the itch, I’m letting it ou
t
Letting it out
Make the ends meet, make them meet
D
The moving and shaking, goddamn sore feet
A
But they only get a little, they only get a bit
D A
Cause in my mind, you and I are half lit
E
In a drunken tavern swagger downtown
Chorus x 2
