G [Verse 1]
G A million times I've looked at the tides
G Never before found myself blinded
Em G By the cold burning tears of anger and pity and shame
G Lying before me is a tiny young life
G Hated by years of hatred and crime
Em G Killed by indifferent, fanatic religious divides [Verse 2]
G They crept out of hiding and ran for their lives
G Too young for the fighting, too young to take sides
Em G They're hope for the future washed up there in the brine
G It's important to know that the waters they choked in
G Were international, they'd pinned all their hopes

Em G Rumours of Eden, the promise of freedom we gave [Vesre 3]
Am D But the you door left open you slammed in their face
Am D Now full of self-loathing this common disgrace
Am D G As a world we did nothing and silently let them die
Am D So tell me my friends does the future look rosy?
G Em Do you sleep well in bed, safe warm and cosy?
Am D G Do you hope someone finds a solution overnight?
Am D And tell me again how history repeats
G Em How we can learn from all our mistakes
Am D G How you'd like to help, but sadly your hands are tied [Instrumental]
G G Em G [Verse 4]
Am D With racists and bigots running countries and business
Am D No real religions just misguided misfits
Am D G Business as usual, towing the party line
Am D How proud you must feel when you're cutting your deals
Am D With arms manufacturer's greasing the wheels
Am D G Selling bullets and bombs to the men with the guns taking lives
Am D So tell me my friend does the future look rosy?
G Em Do you sleep well in bed, safe warm and cosy?
Am D G Do you hope someone finds a solution overnight? [Otro]
Am D Tell me again how history repeats
G Em How we could learn from all our mistakes
Am D G How you'd like to help, but sadly you haven't the time
