D                                  D
We've come closer than we wanted, we've seen what we never should
G                             G
And we will not be the same. We'll never be the same, no
D                                    D
Like steel we are so resilient, but too much and we're weak as children
G                                    G
We were not meant to be made witness to these scenes, no no no

[Verse 2]
D                             D
Gunshots in a broken palace, planes crashing and burn around us
G                                G
It's different than it ever was, darker than it's ever been
D                      D
Three shouts and thank God I found you
D                                           G
With the crowd and the fog around you I'll never let you fall, I'll never let you fall

[Chorus]
D                 G
Oh Heaven can you hear us
D                 A
Right now we are not sure
D                 G
But I hope it will get better
Em                                     A
These times we're in together, they're changing us forever


D                             D
Two kids in a crooked alley, school canceled again
G                                G
And now they won't learn a single lesson except how to load a weapon
D                                  D
And right here on this old soil we hope for peace and we pray for joy
G                                  G
But like everybody else we're still fighting with ourselves


[Chorus]
D                 G
Oh heaven can you hear us
D                 A
Right now we are not sure
D                 G
But I hope it will get better
Em                                     A
These times we're in together, they're changing us forever
D                 G
Oh heaven can you hear us
D                 A
Right now we are not sure
D                 G
But I hope it will get better
Em                                     A
These times we're in together, they're changing us forever
D                 G
Oh heaven can you hear us
D                 A
Right now we are not sure
D                 G
But I hope it will get better
Em                                     A
These times we're in together, they're changing us forever
