Lucy Wainwright Roche - Under the gun

All of the ^Emneighbours went and ^Cclosed their eagle eyes ^G Stacked one by ^Emone and floor by ^Cfloor ^G The halls are ^Emempty, nothing ^Cleft but our goodbyes ^G Behind a ^Emheavy door ^{C G}

And I know that you're ^Ctired And it's been a ^Glong week I know that the ^Csun is steady on the ^Grise Is this the ^Clast time I'll hold you in ^Gmy arms? I would like ^Cnothing more than to see your open ^Geyes

^DWhat do people ^Cunder the gun^G say? This ^Dtrouble, it was ^Cborn on a ^GMonday ^DMaybe we'll look back on this ^Gone day and we will ^Dlaugh again ^{C G}

Once several ^Emyears ago, we ^Cspoke for the first ^Gtime Lonely ^Emin a crowded ^Croom ^G Looking for ^Emtrouble or an ^Cexit or a sign ^G Knowing you'd ^Emfind it soon ^{C G}

And you said you were ^Chappy You said you were ^Gmoving You said that you ^Cknew it was time to leave New ^GYork But this is a ^Ccity That showed you the ^Gnext way And I said, "I ^Cbet you will find that hard to ignore^G"

^DWhat do people ^Cunder the gun^G choose? ^DYou know just as ^Cmany as ^GI do ^DTake the chance and hope someday, ^Gwin or lose, we will ^Dlaugh again ^{C G}

It's nearly the ^Cnext day It's nearly the ^Gnew world It's nearly the ^Cfunny glow behind the window ^Gpane But nearly is ^Cnot now And nearly is ^Gnot here And so for now, ^Call things are clearly just the ^Gsame

^DWhat do people ^Cunder the gun^G know? ^DTell me how to ^Churt so it ^Gwon't show ^DThink about a day when you ^Gwill not go and we'll ^Dlaugh again ^{C G D C G}
