Intro: D A D D A A D 



[Verso 1]
 
      D         G      A        D 
And though we stumble from the edge 
     G     D/F#      Em         A 
Our bottle gone, we drank the dregs 
     A       Bm         G       D 
Our fingers still cling to the ledge 
    D        A      D 
We need each other now. 

    D        G      A        D 
As borders crumble land and sea 
 G         D/F#   Em    A 
Bored with  i- de- ol-o-gy 
      A      Bm      G    D 
The skinhead and the refugee 
    D        A      D 
We need each other now. 



[Refrão]

     A        Bm      G       D 
Rise up, rise up you hopeful men. 
     G    D/F#      Em     A 
And women who might try again! 
     A        Bm         G       D 
And with one voice your message send. 
    D        A      D 
We need each other now 



[Verso 2]
 
    D     G       A      D 
We turn away and turn about 
 G    D/F#      Em        A 
Everywhere mistrust and doubt 
     A     Bm         G        D 
And one by one, our lights go out 
    D        A      D 
We need each other now 

      D       G    A         D 
And while we sit upon trhe fence 
    G  D/F#     Em    A 
In harmony and dissonance 
      A        Bm     G    D 
The bells toll out intolerance 
    D        A      D 
We need each other now 



[Refrão]
 
     A        Bm      G       D 
Rise up, rise up you hopeful men. 
     G    D/F#      Em     A 
And women who might try again! 
     A        Bm         G       D 
And with one voice your message send. 
    D        A      Bm 
We need each other now 
G          D        A      D 
 Yeah, we need each other now

[Verso 3]
 
    D      G        A       D 
And as I watch the setting sun 
     G       D/F#      Em       A 
I'm slow to stand and quick to run 
         A      Bm         G       D 
And my brother asks whose side I'm on 
    D        A      D 
We need each other now
