A            G         D            A               G          D
  We used to live in a better world   where sky and water were free.
A              G          D              A             G             D
  We point the finger, we point the gun,   is that the way it should be?
A             G           D              A          G            D
  We rape the land and we tear the skin,   burn the blood in the stone
A             G         D             A                G          D
  to fuel the fire of a selfish mind,   do you want to live here alone?

[Chorus]
A     E         F#m       A/C#     D     F#m         E         E
  Lay down your arms - surrender -   you know you'll never get out of here.
A     E         F#m      A/C#     D    F#m           E          E        (D)
  Lay down your arms - remember -   no force - you'd better lay down your gun.

[Verse 2]
A              G         D       A             G           D
  Such are the sins of humanity,   dark is the air that we breathe.
A          G         D      A                  G         D
  A war to hide in society,   don't close your eyes to deceive.

  Lay down your arms - remember -   no force - you'd better lay down your gun.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
D     E    F#m       F#m D     E    A     E
  Too many promises,       too many tears,
D       E        F#m    F#m       G             G          G         G
  where does the future lie if we burn away the years?

[Verse 3]
A        G           D            A               G         D
  We can make this a better world   where sky and water are free.
A            G        D           A            G           D
  So, give a hand without the gun   that's the way it will be.

[End-Chorus]
A     E         F#m       A/C#     D     F#m         E         E
  Lay down your arms - surrender -   you know you'll never get out of here.
