Church And State chords by Brandi Carlile

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 Versed

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
