We Were Younger Then Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Arab Architects[E]
Are [D]strung up by their necks
Singing
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Blessed be [Em]the lord
And now I'm drifting through
[E]the street[Em]s
[D]Drinking gypsy wine saying
I can't believe how strange
it is to be [Em]alive right now

[Verse 2]
I [Em]see the good people trying
[G]I remember whe[D]n comfort
was not an option
[C](But we were younger then)
[Em]Dis ciplined and strange
[G]Focused and restrained
[D]We were younger [C]then[D]
[Em]If you need some

[Verse 3]
quiet [E]time
[Em]To proce[G]ss all that guilt
Well the deser[D]t lasts for
days and out there
[C]There's nothing else to do
Round here they [Em]turn ocean into land
And sell [G]that land for gold
[D]Use that gold to build themselves
[C]bigger better homes

[Verse 4]
[Em]I see cranes on the horizo[G]n
I re[D]member when comfort
was not an op[C]tion
(We were younger [Em]then)
Disciplined and strange
[G]Focused and restrained
[D]We were younger then
[C]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
When I go to [G]sleep[Em][C]
I hardly ever [G]dream[D][A]
[Am]And when I'm wide awak[G]e[Em][C]
I can't believe what I [Em]see[G]

[Verse 6]
[Em]I see the good people trying[G]
I re[D]member when comfort
was not an op[C]tion
(We were younger [Em]then)
Disciplined and strange
[G]Focused and restrained
[D]We were younger then
[C]

[Verse 7]
[Am]
When I go [G]to sleep[D][C]
I hardly [G]ever [D]dream[Am]
When I'm wide [G]awake
[D]I c[C]an't believe what
[G]I see

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][Em][G]

[Verse 8]
Only in pictures before have I seen
Anything [C]like from where
I am stand[G]ing
[A]Looking I can't tell where the city stops
[Am]And the nothing begins
[G]Only in pictures before have I seen
Anything [C]like from [G]where I am standing
[A]Looking I can't [Am]tell
where [A]the city stops
[Am]And the nothing begins,
begins, begin[C]s[G]
[A](And the[Am]
[A]nothing [G]begins)

[Verse 9]
Only in pictures [G]before have I seen
Anything like from where I am standing
[A]Look[Am]ing I can't tell
where the city [A]stops
And the [Am]nothing begins, begins,
begin[C]s
(We were younger then)
[G]Only in pictures before have
I seen
(We were younger then)
Anything like from where I
am standing
(We were younger [A]then)
Look[Am]ing I can't tell
where the city stops
And the nothing [A]begin[Am] s,
begins
(We were [C]youngerthen)
