Verse 1
G 
There was a time when ignorance
C 
G 
made our innocence strong
C 
There was a time when we all thought
D 
there could do no wrong
G 
C 
There was a time, so long ago
G 
C 
G 
There was a  time, but here we are
D 
G 
In the calm before the storms
While the orchestra plays
They build barricades
C 
G 
To help close the doors
While the musician sings
C 
The holocaust rings
D 
Symbols of war
G 
In the cities we stare
At the things that were there
C 
G 
And no longer are
C 
And in our hearts
G 
Here we are again
D 
C

In the calm before the storm

D 
G 
There was a time when we had an idea
C 
G 
Whose time hadn't come
D 
They kept changing it's
G 
So we could still pretend
C 
D 
It was not really gone
G 
We heard our screams
Turn into songs
C 
G 
And back into screams again
C 
And here we are again
G 
Here we are
D 
C 
In the calm before the storm
G 
Oh, here we are
D 
Here we are
C

In the calm before the storm
Here we are
D 
Here we are,
C 
In the dark before the dawn
G 
Here we are, here we are
D 
Here we are, here we are
C 
G 
In the dark before the dawn
D

Here we are, here we are
D 
Here we are, here we are
