We Were Here

Bb                                
Can't grin no more, Hell knows 
  F
I've tried
                             Dm
If I don't make the break of day
Bb                              F
Well look for rainbows just the same
Did I ever tell you the joy I've 
Dm
felt
Bb                                
Through all the time and love 
  F
we've shared
                     Dm
Ma you can't help me anymore
Bb                                
Can't keep the grey wolf from the 
F
door

            Dm
You see the fear
        Bb
In this anxiousness
       F
That I feel
         C
While my conscience begs
              Dm
Behind closed doors
   Bb               C             
And I can't see the light to clear
    F
 no more

[Verse 2]
                     Dm
Brother I wish I had know
Bb                                
I missed the trick now you're not 
F
home
                         Dm
So many times now I look back
Bb                                
I should have been there across 
  F
the tracks
                                Dm
Down in the flames of guilt and hell
Bb                                 
Beyond the smoke there's starlight 
F
still
                 Dm
So until we meet again
Bb                           F
I'll send a blaze up in your name

       Dm
Oh the horror
        Bb
In this helplessness
          F
That I've felt
         C
While my conscience begged
              Dm
For somethin' more
      Bb                 C        
Since then don't know my heart to 
        F
well no more

            Dm
Ol' mask of shame
          Bb
That I've worn with pride
         F
Can't be explained
      C
Never justified
              Dm
But I'm still sure
     Bb          C               F
That I'm so glad we were here at all

[Verse 3]
                        Dm
Sister let me clear the air
Bb                          F
We both know I never did my share
                        Dm
I'm sorry endlessly and more
Bb                        F
Hindsight's no benefit at all
                          Dm
But by your grace help my convey
Bb                      F
The beauty equal to the pain
                            Dm
Next time the band begin to play
Bb                               F
Will you save the last dance for me

             Dm
To all those friends
          Bb
That have lost their way
            F
Beneath the weight
              C
Of this great mystery
           Dm
For feelin' all
     Bb                C      
This good earth has to give's a 
        F
heavy call

                  Dm
Ain't no sense to make
           Bb
But I draw confidence
           F
In how the hurt
              C
Show us we're capable
           Dm
Of so much love
    Bb                     C      
And in the it's grace will carry 
         F
us all on home

[Outro]
Bb      Dm
We were here
        C
One and all
Bb      Dm
Bold as sunlight
       C
In the dawn
Bb      Dm
We were here
         C
Bound to fall
Bb                  Dm
I'll see you at the crossroads
     C
Time comes
Bb      Dm
We were here
       C
Arm in arm
Bb        Dm
Bright as starlight
       C
In the dark
Bb      Dm
We were here
     C
Miracles
Bb                        
I guess I'll see you at the 
  Dm
crossroads
         C
When the time comes
F
