[Intro]
Am7

[Verse 1]
[tab] Am7
Dancing on the crumbling precipice

     Am7
The rocks are coming loose just at the edge

           C
Are we laughing? Are we crying?

         Dsus2
Are we drowning? Are we dead?
N.C. Or was it all a dream? [Instrumental] Am7 [Verse]
 Am7
The bombs are getting closer everyday

     Am7
'That can never happen here' we used to say

          C
Have these wars come to our doorstep?

         Dsus2
Has this moment finally come?
N.C. Or was it all a dream? [Instrumental] Am7 [Chorus]
           F                       G
Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?

       Am                              C
Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?

           F                       G
Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?

Am
To become something greater

 C
Than the violence in our nature?

            F     G          N.C.
Are we not good, good enough or was it all a dream?
[Instrumental] Am7 [Verse 2]
 Am7
To a pretty time and fate are we condemned

  Am7
Or maybe we're a book without an end

          C
We're not stories, we're not actors

       Dsus2
We're awake and in control
N.C. And this is not a dream [Pre-Chorus]
    Am
So can we break this mold

 Am
And set in motion something new

            C
Forgetting what we know

      Dsus2
An evolution overdue

            C
Fight the current

           C
Pull the ripcord

     Dsus2
Get away!
[Chorus]
           F                       G
Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?

         Am                             C
Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?

           F                       G
Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?

        Am
To become something greater

           C
Than the violence in our nature?

            F        G
Are we not good, good enough
Ooohoooh [Breakdown]
        Am Em Dsus2
Ooohoooh
Am Em Dsus [Bridge]
G
We travel back

    G
To what we take

G
We need a storm

               Am
Let's pray for rain now

    F                   G
To wash these roads away

G
Let's get off track and wander far

            G        Am
Same roads reducing destinations

    F                         G
Do nothing but show our heart

        G
We're talking in our sleep

       G                  Am
And sleeping through our lives

                F                   Am
We dream of the places where we never die

                 F
We step from our shadows

     C       Am7
And into the light
[Chorus]
           F                       G
Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?

        Am                              C
Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?

           F                       G
Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?

     Am
To become something greater

           C
Than the violence in our nature?

            F                      Am
Are we not good enough, are we not brave enough?

            F     G
Are we not good, good enough?

                       Am7
Or was it all a dream?
