Bm A D
Come in the water
Bm A Em
There ain't nobody else here
Bm A D
Feel it still when the planes are coming
Bm A Em
I just want to lie here
Bm A D
Left our homes, left our friends
Bm A Em
Left the wombs we lived in -- Spread out along the road
Bm A D
And I've been weak
Bm A Em
When my Lord was calling
Bm A D
The water will take our load
Em
On the day that you were born
G D
Legions laid down their arms
Em
On the day you lost control
G D
Legions leapt for your throat
A Em7 F#m7
Telling me I'm wrong....Is the face in the water unmistakable?
Em7
Black's the color of the sea
D
When it's free from the light of the sun
A Em7 F#m7
Your crystal ball...Your faith in the age of medicine
Em7
And the children are asleep
D
With their heads on the butt of a gun
A Em7 F#m7
You put up a wall...Keep the bad ones out and the good ones in
Em7
Fight the battle on your knees
D
Till' the sea swallows everyone
( A Em7 F#m7 Bm A D Bm A Em )
( Bm A D Bm A Em Bm A D Bm A Em )
Bm A D
Come in the water
Bm A Em
Or is there somewhere you have to go?
Bm A D
We'll keep a lantern open
Bm A Em Bm A D
In case you loose your way in the cold
Em
On the day that you were born
G D
Legions laid down their arms
Em
On the day they found you out
G D
Left no shadow of a doubt
( A Em7 F#m7 Em7 D Em7 F#m7 Em D A Em7 F#m7 )
Em7
And the children are asleep
D A Em7 F#m7
With their heads on the butt of a gun
Em7
Fight the battle on your knees
D
Till' the sea swallows everyone
