Intro: Bm7 D Em7



                       Bm7  Dmaj7 Em
The telegraph gave us hope

                   Bm7           Dmaj7      Em
Before was the silence and the panic it brought

                         Bm7   Dmaj7 Em
The sky was the blankest sheet

                   Bm7           Dm7         Em
We drew lines upon it so our thoughts could meet

                             Bm7 Dmaj7 Em
through cables black and cold
 
                             Bm7       Dmaj7 Em
we carry our intentions to bridge and bring home

                      Bm7 Dmaj7 Em
would it all be so clear

                      Bm7           Dm7      Em
if the lines were erased and the silence restored?

Boys of today write lines on walls
in the streets at night
in suburbs of cities with no name
is this destruction or just quiet protest
against loneliness

the cargo lies in our laps
they're weight is so heavy
and this is all we know
our message will need a ship
to travel across oceans
that can't otherwise be crossed

it undulates on the waves
and cautions the water so we can be safe
it undulates on the waves
then cautions the water so we can be safe
