[Verse 1]
D           Em       C  Am  D
Under the water line

   Em            C  Am  D
No place to retire

    Em          C  Am  D
To another time

    Em            C         Am  D
The eyes of the world now turn

          Em     C       Am  D
And if we think about it

          Em     C      Am  D
And if we talk about it

           Em       C          Am   D
And if the skies go dark with rain

Em             C            Am        D
  Can you tell me does our freedom remain
[Chorus]
Em                   Am       C      D
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone

Em                     Am       C           D
You can't hide nowhere with the torchlight on

       C          Em       C   Em
And it happens to be an emergency

     C                          D
Some things aren't meant to be

     C            D        Am    C
Some things don't come for free

[Verse 2]
D            Em     C  Am  D
Above the water line

          Em          C         Am   D
Point the finger yeah point the bone

         Em           C  Am  D
It's the harbour towns

          Em        C          Am    D
That the grey metal ships call home

          Em      C       Am  D
And if we think about it

          Em     C      Am  D
And if we talk about it

           Em       C       Am    D
And if the sea goes boiling black

Em             C              Am       D
  Can you tell me what you'll do about that
[Chorus]
Em                   Am       C       D
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone

Em                    Am      C       D
I must know something to know it's so wrong

       C          Em      C     Em
And it happens to be an emergency

     C                          D
Some things aren't meant to be

     C            D        Am    C
Some things don't come for free

[Chorus]
Em    Am  C  D
Aaaah

Em                     Am       C           D

And it happens to be an emergency

     C                          D
Some things aren't meant to be

Some things don't come for free

Em                   Am       C      D
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone

Em                Am     C            D
You must be crazy if you think you're strong

          C          Em      C     Em
'Cause it happens to be an emergency

     C                          D
Some things aren't meant to be

    Em          D/F#       Am      C   D/F#   Em
And some things don't come for free
