D Em C Am D
Under the water line
Em C Am D
No place to retire

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 gray 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

And it happens to be an emergency
