We Were Younger Then

Capo: 4th fret

[Verse 1]
E
Arab Architects
                 D
Are strung up by their necks
D
Singing
D
Hallelujah, hallelujah
E
Bless it be the lord
E
And now I'm drifting through the streets
           D
Drinking gypsy wine singing
                                         E
I can't believe how strange it is to be alive right now
 
[Chorus 1]
Em                     G
I see the good people trying
    D                                     C
I remember when comfort was not an option
 
(But we were younger then)
E
Disciplined and strange
G
Focused and restrained
D                   C
We were younger then
 
[Verse 2]
E
If you need some quiet time
    G
To process all that guilt
          D
Well the desert lasts for days and out there
          C
There's nothing else to do
                      E
Round here they turn ocean into land
      G
And sell that land for gold
D                                 C
Use that gold to build themselves bigger better homes
 
[Chorus 1]
Em                   G
I see cranes on the horizon
   D                               C
I remember when comfort was not an option
 
(We were younger then)
E
Disciplined and strange
G
Focused and restrained
D                   C  Am
We were younger then
 
[Bridge]
Am           G    E
When I go to sleep
C             G    A   Am
I hardly ever dream
                  G    E   C
And when I'm wide awake
                       Em    G
I can't believe what I see
 
[Chorus 1]
Em                    G
I see the good people trying
      D                                 C
I remember when comfort was not an option
 
(We were younger then)
Em
Disciplined and strange
G
Focused and restrained
D                   C    Am
We were younger then
 
[Bridge]
             G    D    C
When I go to sleep
              G    D    Am
I hardly ever dream
              G    D    C
When I'm wide awake
                      G    C E
I can't believe what I see
 
[Chorus 2]
G
Only in pictures before have I seen
          C              G
Anything like from where I am standing
   A
Looking I can't tell where the city stops
         Am
And the nothing begins
 G
Only in pictures before have I seen
 
Anything like from where I am standing
  A
Looking I can't tell where the city stops
          Am                     C
And the nothing begins, begins, begins
 
  G
(And the nothing begins)
  G
And the nothing begins
  A
And the nothing begins
  Am                 A
And the nothing begins
 
[Chorus 2]/[Outro]
G
Only in pictures before have I seen
          C              G
Anything like from where I am standing
  A        Am                      A
Looking I can't tell where the city stops
                 Am                   C   G
And the nothing begins, begins, begins
 
(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 then)
A          Am                       A
Looking I can't tell where the city stops
 
(We were younger then)
            Am               C   G
And the nothing begins, begins
                        D
(We were younger then)
