            Em           C   Am   D    Em          C      Am   D 
1. Under the water line,              no place to retire,
      Em            C   Am   D    Em            C           Am         D
   to another time               the eyes of the world now turn
                Em      C      Am   D          Em      C       Am   D
    And if we think about it,         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 ?
 
Em       C         Em        C   Am          C        D  
    Put down that weapon              or we'll all be gone !
Em        C        Em           C    Am          C           D
    You can't hide nowhere             with the torchlight on !
 
         C         Em          C       Em
    And it happens to be an emergency,
        C                      Am         D
    some things aren't meant to be,
     C                D        C     Em ~     D        Em      D
    some things don't come for free,       above the waterline.
 
            Em           C       Am          D       
2. 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            Em     C         Am   D
    And if we think about it,           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 ?
 
Em       C         Em       C    Am        C        D  
    Put down that weapon              or we'll all be gone !
Em   C          Em          C    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                       Am       D
some things aren't meant to be,
    C                D         C       Em ~  B7   D
some things don't come for free !  
 
               B7            D
    They keep talking about it ! 
              B7             D
    They keep talking about it !
              B7                                    D
    They keep talking, they keep talking talking about it !
 
Em       C        Em         C     Am          C        D  
    Put down that weapon                or we'll all be gone !
Em   C          Em          C   Am          C           D
    I must know something              to know it's so wrong !   + CHORUS
 
Em       C        Em        C     Am            C         D  
    Put down that weapon                or we'll all be gone !
Em   C         Em             C   Am             C           D
    I must know something            to know it's so wrong !   + CHORUS 
 
Em       C        Em        C     Am             C        D  
    Put down that weapon                or we'll all be gone !
Em         C     Em     C   Am            C                  D
    You must be crazy               if you think you're strong !
