C
Summer 19 there was an issue
Em
Filling up our oceans was plastic and shoes
Am F
Now someday soon our oceans will not be so blue
C
Seals used to swim about the water having a blast
Em
But things are very different than they were in the past
Am F
Our chance to save our oceans was the very last
[Chorus]
C Em
In another life wed be recycling now
Am F
We’d stop all our food chains from toppling down
C Em
In another life seals and turtles would remain
Am F
So the kids of 7 can remember their names
F
We’ve lit our seas aflame
C
Our issue’s rising to the surface along with the trash
Em
Still nobody recylces their bottles and bags
Am F
And when we hear about it we just think how thats a drag
C
We could do something about it find another way
Em
At this point we couldnt live without it but itll be the end of our days
Am F
And its hard to change things now with how heavy this conflict weighs
[Chorus]
C Em
In another life wed be recycling now
Am F
We’d stop all our food chains from toppling down
C Em
In another life seals and turtles would remain
Am F
So the kids of 7 can remember their names
F
We’ve lit our seas aflame
Aflaaaaame
G Am F
All his money can't buy us a time machine No
G Am F
Not one newsletter can fix this thing No
Em Am F
We shouldve tried to keep our oceans clean Woe
G
Cause now we pay the price
C Em
Cause now were in this life theres not much we can do
Am F
To prevent ourselves from eating fish with plastic in it too
C Em
In another life we wouldve done things right
Am F
So we dont have to say we let this happen without a fight
F
We couldve done things right
Riiiiiiiight riiiiiight riiiiight
We couldve done tihngs right
C Em
In another life wed be recycling now
Am F
We’d stop all our food chains from toppling down
C Em
In another life seals and turtles would remain
Am F
So the kids of 7 can remember their names
F
we've lit our seas aflame
