Under The Gun

G  Em  C  G    Em  C  G

[Verse]
           Em                 
All of the neighbours went and 
 C                       G
closed their eagle eyes
               Em              
Stacked one by one and floor by 
 C      G
floor
              Em             C    
The halls are empty, nothing left 
                  G
but our goodbyes
         Em          C  G
Behind a heavy door

[Verse]
                       C
And I know that you're tired
                G
And it's been a long week
                C                  
I know that the sun is steady on 
  G
the rise
            C
Is this the last time
                 G
I'll hold you in my arms?
             C                   
I would like nothing more than to 
               G
see your open eyes

[Chorus]
D              C            G
What do people under the gun say?

This trouble, it was born on a 
  G
Monday
D                             G  
Maybe we'll look back on this one
                 D           C  G
 day and we will laugh again

[Verse]
             Em            C      
Once several years ago, we spoke 
             G
for the first time
       Em           C     G
Lonely in a crowded room
            Em            C       
Looking for trouble or an exit or 
       G
a sign
              Em           C  G
Knowing you'd find it soon

[Verse]
                      C
And you said you were happy
                  G
You said you were moving
                  C                
You said that you knew it was time 
             G
to leave New York
              C
But this is a city
                    G
That showed you the next way
               C                
And I said, "I bet you will find 
                    G
that hard to ignore"

[Chorus]
D              C            G
What do people under the gun choose?
D                C       G
You know just as many as I do
D                                 
Take the chance and hope someday, 
G                    D           
win or lose, we will laugh again
C  G


[Verse]
                C
It's nearly the next day
                G
It's nearly the new world
                C                
It's nearly the funny glow behind 
            G
the window pane
              C
But nearly is not now
              G
And nearly is not here
                C             
And so for now, all things are 
                  G
clearly just the same

[Chorus]
D              C            G
What do people under the gun know?
D              C          G
Tell me how to hurt so it won't show
D                          G     
Think about a day when you will 
                D           C  G  
not go and we'll laugh again
 D  C  G
