Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
There was [G]a time when ignorance
made [C]our innocence [G]strong
There was a time when we all [C]thought
there could do no [D]wrong
There was [G]a time, so long [C]ago
There was [G]a time, b[C]ut here we a[G]re
In [D]the calm before the [G]storms
While the orchestra plays
They build barricades
[C]To help close the doo[G]rs
While the musician sings
The [C]holocaust rings
Symbols of [D]war
In the cities we [G]stare
At the things that were there
[C]And no longer [G]are
And in our [C]hearts
Here we [G]are again
In the [D]calm before the [C]storm[G]
[C]Oh![G]
[C][D]
[G][C][G][C]
[G][D][G]
There was a time when we had an idea
[C]Whose time hadn't [G]come
They kept changing [D]it's
[G]So we could still pretend
[C]It was not really [D]gone
We heard our [G]screams
Turn into songs
[C]And back into screams [G]again
And here we [C]are again
Here we [G]are
In [D]the calm before the [C]storm
[G]Oh, here we are
Here we [D]are
In the [C]calm before the [G]storm
Here we are
Here we [D]are,
In the [C]dark before the dawn
[G]Here we are, here we are
Here [D]we are, here we are
In the dark [C]before [G]the dawn
[D]Here we [G]are, here we are
Here we [D]are, here we are
Here [C]we are![G][D][G][D]
[C][G][D]
[C][G]
we are, there we [D]are, there we are
