Intro:
Shane Speaks:
Once upon a time
Before the lakes and
rivers were polluted
Before the animals were 
poached to extinction
And before man had destroyed 
the earth's atmosphere
There was a great ship
Abm
   This vessel was to
venture into new waters
To find new resources to make
life easier and more enjoyable
F#m
   It was a simple mission for the crew
Who were excited to be a part of this union
C#m
   They pledged their allegiance to the captain
And vowed to be there no matter what
                                  Abm
In sickness, health, and possible death

As time passed by there was
no new land to be found
                 F#m
As the days grew shorter
And the nights grew 
longer and colder
The crew became more and more 
skeptical about the captain's vision
 C#m
Originally passionate and 
committed true and faithful
They now began to revolt


Verse 1:

Sing:
    Abm
You crossed the line
I was honest
                 E
I never promised anything
Just a brotherhood to 
stand for something
C#m
  And everyone should 
take the lead
            E
Follow your dreams
If you don't try you fail


Refrain 1:

Shane Speaks:
Abm
   As the mutiny started and the 
captain was overthrown and 
           E
chained He asked them why 
their minds had changed
           C#m
There's no gold to be found
no treasure in the ground
E
  We won't die for this
We won't die for you


Verse 2:

Sing:
       Abm
You've lost your minds
I was honest
                 E
I never promised anything
Just a brotherhood to 
stand for something
C#m
   And even if they disagree
            Abm
Follow your dreams
If you don't try you fail


Interlude: E--F#--G#m- x2


Refrain 2:

Shane Speaks:
E
  This dream is now
F#
  A shipwreck in the sand
Abm
  They gave up they 
made all their demands
E
  The storm consumed 
F#
  fifty seven souls
Abm
  Who died in vain 
his love they stole


Chorus 1:
E           F#
  This union a battle 
           Abm
fought and lost
This union is not
          E
about the cause
          F#
This union was 
            Abm
never about love
This union This union
(Repeat)


Chorus 2:
E           F#
  This union a battle 
           Abm
fought and lost
This union is not
          E
about the cause
          F#
This union was 
            C#m(hold)
never about love
