INTRO: G        Em      C       D       G       Em      C  D            G


G            Em         C       D
While we float on this ... sea
G                  Em         C  D        G
We wear our colours so heroically
G            Em         C       D 
Were only living In GMT
G                  Em         C  D        G
Everyone else is just a refugee

Am                      D
Ah I wake up, I'll take up
F                       G
It's about time for a shake up
Am                              D                       F                 
When pride is blind you know were only stuck in second gear

Am                      D
So live up; never give up
F                       G
It's about time to deliver
Am                      D
Without the man who drives you ...
F                       
You know I'm staying in

G            Em         C       D
Were on an island in the sea
G                  Em         C  D        G
Were on and island we never leave
G            Em         C       D
Were on an island in the sea
G                  Em         C  D        G
Were on and island we never leave

G            Em         C       D
Well we feel subsequent resent
G                  Em         C  D        G
And overseas we like to represent
G            Em         C       D
Cause nothing but embarrassment
G                  Em         C  D        G
We had nothing but our good intent

Am              D
Ah I wake up, I'll take up
F                               G
It's about time for a shake up
Am                      D                       F                          
I'm talking loud; that doesn't mean you can't be understood
Am                      D
So live up; never give up
F                       G
It's about time to deliver
Am                        D                     F                       
I think it's about time we got to meet the neighborhood

G            Em         C       D
Were on an island in the sea
G                  Em         C  D        G
Were on and island we never leave
G            Em         C       D
Were on an island in the sea
G                  Em         C  D        G
Were on and island we never leave

G            Em         C       D
Were on an island in the sea
G                  Em         C  D        G
Were on and island we never leave
G            Em         C       D
Were on an island in the sea
G                  Em         C  D        G
Were on and island we never leave
