Chords

[Intro] Em [Verse 1]
Em
  While the empire was failing
I was so far from home
Em
  I heard a thousand sirens wailing
So I was never on my own
C
 And when the blackness slowly parted
I saw the ivory towers
Em
Before the revolution started

                           C
Between the madness of the hours
[Chorus]
                  D          Em
And they don't see what we see
But we believe, we believe
C                               D
 That they're not gonna live forever
Burn tomorrow, nеver say
Em
  They're hеre today, then they're gone forever
Never say, never say, never say
G                Am                C
 We'll find a way, we'll find a way, we'll find a way

D              Em
 Imagine if we could, imagine if we could
[Instrumental] Em [Verse 2]
Em
  And in the days that quickly followed
They began to turn to stone
Em
  They couldn't stand or speak or swallow
They couldn't get out of bed alone
C
 And when the frailty overcomes them
And they begin to crawl
Em
  Reaching out their bloody hands

                           C
Guess who gets to make the call?
[Chorus]
                    D
Well, they don't see what we see

Em
  But we believe, we believe

C                               D
 That they're not gonna live forever
Burn tomorrow, nеver say
Em
  They're hеre today, then they're gone forever
Never say, never say, never say
G                Am                C
 We'll find a way, we'll find a way, we'll find a way

D              Em
 Imagine if we could, imagine if we could
[Bridge]
Em
I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which
declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
                                 C                                                    D
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State
[Chorus]
C                              D
 No, they're not gonna live forever
Burn tomorrow, nеver say
Em
  They're hеre today, then they're gone forever
Never say, never say, never say
G                Am                C
 We'll find a way, we'll find a way, we'll find a way

D              Em
 Imagine if we could, imagine if we could

Em
(Woo)

Em
(Woo-hoo)
[Outro] Em
