[Verse 1]
E
We've seen fire and we've seen rain
E
Cried the tears and felt the pain
B7 E
But we never thought this could happen
E
We've known hard times and two world wars
E
Thought we'd seen it all before
B7 E E7
[Chorus 1]
A
And from sea to shining sea
E
This land of ours was free
F F# B7
But now,be careful what you say;
E
Though we got what we wanted
E
We lost what we had
B7 E
We never thought this could happen
[Instrumental]
B7 E
[Verse 2]
E
I guess at first they made us smile
E
Feel good for a while
B7 E
But we never thought this could happen
E
The foundations have all gone
E
And they say we're moving on
B7 E E7
We never thought this could happen
[Chorus 2]
A
Yesterday we felt secure
E
But now I'm not so sure
F F# B7
And things may never be the same
E
Cold,cold hearts and empty eyes
E
How could we believe a lie
B7 E
We never thought this could happen
[Instrumental]
E E B7 E E7
[Chorus 3]
A
It's so hard to understand
E
The minds of other men
F F# B7
When just like them,we want the best
E
Empty beds and photographs
E
Memories are all we have
B7 E
We never thought this could happen
B7 E
No, we never thought this could happen
