My Money Is On The Long Shot Lyrics & Chords By Less Than Jake

It's the new standard of living on a thinner thread
And the new look now is wanting more but have a little less
The new you isn't who, you thought you knew but it's what's left
Let me catch my breath, let me try and start explaining this

We always say we want to have it bigger
We always say we want to have it better
Take a look around
Setting ourselves up to hold this down

We wait around for something better
And we always wanted something bigger
But we don't work for it
'Cause we know it's much too big a risk

It's a long shot and my chances can't get worse
And the truth stings, ringing out with every word
It's ringing out with every word

If you knew the future of exactly what lies ahead
Would you change a bit or still let it lead you by the wrist?
And we pace and we wait for the weights to crush what's left
Let me take the hit, let me see if I unravel this

We wait around for something better
And we always wanted something bigger
But we don't work for it
'Cause we know it's much too big a risk

It's too big a risk

It's a long shot and my chances can't get worse
And the truth stings, ringing out with every word
It's ringing out with every word

It's a long shot and my chances can't get worse
And the truth stings, ringing out with every word
It's ringing out with every word!

Ready, set or not
I'll bet all I've got on the longest shot
Ready, set or not
I'll bet all I've got on the longest shot

Ready, set or not
I'll bet all I've got on the longest shot
I'll bet all I've got on the longest shot
