[Verse 1]
        C
We're a million volts in a pool of light
F
Electricity in the room tonight
Am
Born from fire
G                         F
Sparks flying from the sun


        C
Yeah, I hardly know you, can I confess
F
I feel your heart beatin' in my chest
       Am
If you come with me
  G                     F
Tonight is gonna be the one


[Pre-Chorus]
              C
'Cause you're faith in no fear for the fight
         F
You pull hope from defeat in the night
           Am                 G
There's an image of you in my mind
         F
Could be mad but you might just be right


[Chorus]
                             C
We are the people we've been waiting for
                    F
Out of the ruins of hate and war
                          Am     G
Army of lovers never seen before
                             F
We are the people we've been waiting for
                         C
We are the people of the open hand
                         F
The streets of Dublin to Notre Dame
                              Am        G
We'll build it better than we did before
                             F
We are the people we've been waiting for

We are the people we've been waiting for


[Verse 2]
C
Broken bells and a broken church
F
Heart that hurts is a heart that works
       Am
From a broken place
       G                   F
That's where the victories won


[Pre-Chorus]
              C
'Cause you're faith in no fear for the fight
         F
You pull hope from the feet in the night
            Am                 G
There is an image of you in my mind
         F
Could be mad but you might just be right

Out of the ruins of hate and war
                          Am     G
Army of lovers never seen before
                             F
We are the people we've been waiting for
                         C
We are the people of the open hand
                         F
The streets of Dublin to Notre Dame
                              Am        G
We'll build it better than we did before
