Em           D         Am           G
Horses and chariots, churches and states
   C            B             Em          D        Am
Devotion turns dangerous when armed with rules of faith
  Em           D        Am          G
Prisoners and patriots, angels and saints
C             B                  Em       D        Am
If minds are persuaded enough compassion turns to hate
(So when the)

Chorus:
 C             B         Em      D        Am

(Don't let their)
 C           B        Em      D     Am

Borders and boundary signs drawn by red tape
Those who colour outside of the lines define the human race
Warlords and suffering eyes, soldiers and slaves
The side of the fence that we climb determines who's afraid

Chorus:
So when the tide comes to bury us, together we must stay
Don't let their horses and chariots drag our love away
Until we swallow our pride our hearts will collide

         Am       G
And the skies of hysteria will come
 C            Em               Am            G
Rain down on you. Cleanse the salt from the hands
who divide our
 B        Em
world in two (so when the)

Chorus:
So when the tide comes to bury us
We're lucky to live while so many die
Don't let the horses and chariots
If only we saw the view from their eyes
Until we swallow our pride
We've chosen a faith, we've chosen a side
Until we swallow our pride our hearts will collide
