Verse 1
Am 
It was a sunny afternoon,
E 
just before the bell
Brother, sister walkin' home from school
Am 
Just before the bell
The boy next door was playin' drums
E 
Just before the bell
Me and my baby were makin' love
Am 
Just before the bell
Dm 
Am 
I am so far away,
Dm 
Am 
on the other side of the sea
Dm 
Am 
When I am dreaming of  you,
B 
E 
Am 
are you dreaming of me?
Everyone's been accounted for,
E 
everyone but you
Am 
Where were you before the bells?
A flower of warning was left at my door
E 
Just before the bells
The dogs howled and paced the floor
Am 
E 
Am 
Just before the bells
The phone rang once and cut off dead,
E 
just before the bell
I remembered the last
words my mother said,
Am 
just before the bell
Dm 
Am 
I'm writing from an address
Dm 
Am 
I never thought I'd see
Dm 
Don't tell me you're sorry now,
Am 
B 
E 
you didn't stick with me
Am 
E 
Am 
Love and death will come in  disguise,
E 
not like before,
Am 
before we heard the bell
The night before I dined,
E 
just before the bells
On aubergines and Spanish wine
Am 
Just before the bell
And in my dreams you returned
E 
Just before the bell
Walking toward me while the city burned
Am 
Just before the bell
Dm 
The wind that chills you
Am 
when you're in  your bed
Dm 
Am 
A call in the night, there's no  one there
Dm 
Am 
Dm 
The true love that you forsake,
Am 
B 
Am 
E 
realized too late
Am 
I didn't know that a man could break
E 
Into many men,
Am 
E 
G#dim 
E 
Am 
not before the bells
Those are lost to hesitate
E 
Before the bells
Take their cravings for need
And their choices for fate
Am 
Before the bell,
I would not have been so cavalier
E 
Just before the bell,
I should have taken us out of here
Am 
Before the bell,
Dm 
Am 
there ain't no high ground
Dm 
Am 
All the cities and the towns
Dm 
Am 
are left unlocked and emptied out
B 
E 
Gone without a sound
Am 
I cried when I said I was afraid
E 
Before the bells
Am 
Where were you before the bells?
E 
Am 
Where were you before the bells
E 
Where were you before the bells
