Under The Gun by Lucy Wainwright Roche
Under The Gun
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
G Em C G Em C G
[Verse]
Em C G
All of the neighbours went and closed their eagle eyes
Em C G
Stacked one by one and floor by floor
Em C G
The halls are empty, nothing left 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 G
I know that the sun is steady on the rise
C
Is this the last time
G
I'll hold you in my arms?
C G
I would like nothing more than to see your open eyes
[Chorus]
D C G
What do people under the gun say?
D C G
This trouble, it was born on a Monday
D G D C G
Maybe we'll look back on this one day and we will laugh again
[Verse]
Em C G
Once several years ago, we spoke for the first time
Em C G
Lonely in a crowded room
Em C G
Looking for trouble or an exit or 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 G
You said that you knew it was time to leave New York
C
But this is a city
G
That showed you the next way
C G
And I said, "I bet you will find 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 G D C G
Take the chance and hope someday, win or lose, we will laugh again
[Verse]
C
It's nearly the next day
G
It's nearly the new world
C G
It's nearly the funny glow behind the window pane
C
But nearly is not now
G
And nearly is not here
C G
And so for now, all things are 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 D C G D C G
Think about a day when you will not go and we'll laugh again
