[Intro]
 Cm   D#   Gmx4
[Verse 1]
CmDaniel, you D#talk of Gmlove
CmStep into the D#light, 
And Gmout of the dark
They Cmhauled you aD#way, I Gmheard someone say:
Cm"Don't D#ever sGmtop."
[Verse 2]
CmDaniel, you D#talk of Gmdreams
But they Cmtapped out your D#heart, 
And Gmtore out the seams
They Cmhauled you D#away, the Gmcynics, they say:
"It's Cmall whaD#t it sGmeems."
[Interlude 1]
Cm D# Gm
[Verse 3]
CmDaniel, you D#talk of Gmlust
But the Cmman in the D#moon
Saw your Gmlove for undress
His Cmslippery D#aunt seems to Gmtake the command,
And your Cmflag to the D#cross,
And your Gmshoes to the stand, you said-
CmI am a warship, I long to see land
N.C.
I am a warship, I long to see land
N.C.
I am a warship, I long to see land!
But there Cmain't
D#Nothing
GmLeft.
[Interlude 2]
 Cm   D#   Gmx2
[Chorus]
Time to draw the Cmline,
You're acting like a D#fool
Trying to save these Gmsouls,
Tell me Daniel, who'll save Cmyou?
Put you away all the Cmtime
It's all you have and D#more
Tell me you're a Gmsoldier
You're a Cmkiller
You're a D#lover
You're a Gmsinner
You're a Cmwhore!D#  Gm  
You're a sinner, you're a CmwhoreD#  Gm  
You're a sinner, you're a CmwhoreD#  Gm  
You're a sinner, you're a CmwhoreD#  Gm  
[Interlude 3]
 Cm   D#   Gmx4
[Verse 4]
CmDaniel, you talk of tGmheft
But they Cmtook all your D#heart
Til you Gmhad nothing left
Your Cmmight starts to D#faint at the Gmfeet of these saints,
They took Cmall that you're D#worth, 
You left Gmall that you ain't 
You said shame Cmwill befall those that laugh at my name
N.C.
You said shame will befall those that laugh at my name
N.C.
You said shame will befall those that laugh at my name!
[Interlude 4]
 Cm   D#   Gmx2
[Chorus]
Time to draw the Cmline,
You're acting like a D#fool
Trying to save these Gmsouls,
Tell me Daniel, who'll save Cmyou?
Put you away all the Cmtime
It's all you have and D#more
Tell me you're a Gmsoldier
You're a Cmkiller
You're a D#lover
You're a Gmsinner
You're a Cmwhore!
CmTime to draw the line,
You're acting like a D#fool
Trying to save these Gmsouls,
Tell me Daniel, who'll save Cmyou?
Put you away all the Cmtime
It's all you have and D#more
Tell me you're a Gmsoldier
You're a Cmkiller
You're a D#lover
You're a Gmsinner
You're a Cmwhore!

[Intro]

Cm D# Gm

[Verse 1]

Cm D# Gm

Daniel, you talk of love

Cm D#

Step into the light,

And out of the dark

Cm D# Gm

They hauled you away, I heard someone say:

Cm D# Gm

"Don't ever stop."

[Verse 2]

Cm D# Gm

Daniel, you talk of dreams

Cm D#

But they tapped out your heart,

And tore out the seams

Cm D# Gm

They hauled you away, the cynics, they say:

Cm D# Gm

"It's all what it seems."

[Interlude 1]

Cm D# Gm

[Verse 3]

Cm D# Gm

Daniel, you talk of lust

Cm D#

But the man in the moon

Saw your love for undress

Cm D# Gm

His slippery aunt seems to take the command,

Cm D#

And your flag to the cross,

And your shoes to the stand, you said-

I am a warship, I long to see land

N.C.

I am a warship, I long to see land

N.C.

I am a warship, I long to see land!

But there ain't

Nothing

Left.

[Interlude 2]

Cm D# Gm

[Chorus]

Time to draw the line,

You're acting like a fool

Trying to save these souls,

Tell me Daniel, who'll save you?

Put you away all the time

It's all you have and more

Tell me you're a soldier

You're a killer

You're a lover

You're a sinner

Cm D# Gm

You're a whore!

Cm D# Gm

You're a sinner, you're a whore

Cm D# Gm

You're a sinner, you're a whore

Cm D# Gm

You're a sinner, you're a whore

[Interlude 3]

Cm D# Gm

[Verse 4]

Cm Gm

Daniel, you talk of theft

Cm D#

But they took all your heart

Til you had nothing left

Cm D# Gm

Your might starts to faint at the feet of these saints,

Cm D#

They took all that you're worth,

You left all that you ain't

You said shame will befall those that laugh at my name

N.C.

You said shame will befall those that laugh at my name

N.C.

You said shame will befall those that laugh at my name!

[Interlude 4]

Cm D# Gm

[Chorus]

Time to draw the line,

You're acting like a fool

Trying to save these souls,

Tell me Daniel, who'll save you?

Put you away all the time

It's all you have and more

Tell me you're a soldier

You're a killer

You're a lover

You're a sinner

You're a whore!

Time to draw the line,

You're acting like a fool

Trying to save these souls,

Tell me Daniel, who'll save you?

Put you away all the time

It's all you have and more

Tell me you're a soldier

You're a killer

You're a lover

You're a sinner

You're a whore!
