Styx - Haven't We Been Here Before

Chorded by : Rick Plosscowe (rplosscowe@aol.com)


[Intro] : C  D  C  D  C  D  Bm

C          D           Em    C              D           Am
Haven't we been here before. Footsteps lead down to the note on

    D              C            D       A         C          D
the door that says I can't stay here anymore. And haven't we felt

          E    C           D             Am            D
this same way. Sure in our hearts, but afraid just the same

        C            D          E               C
to say, I can't stay one minute more. You might think that

               D                              C               D
it's hopeless, beyond our control, but that's not necessarily so.

          C                            D
Can't you see there's a chance for the daring young soul,

      C                      D        C           D
who's finally learned to say no. No I won't be misused,

  Am        D            C                          D
ignored or abused, and I won't just give up and let go.

[Chorus] :

     G     D          C           D/G                D
So tonight... hold me close to you. And don't give up

         C                      Am     G       D
what's important to you. And as time.. rolls.. on.....

Am          G            D        G      D           G
nothing can stand in our way. And I, I believe if we learn from

    G             Am         Am          Am
the past we'd say haven't we been here before.

    G      D           G        G                Am        Am
And I, I believe if we open our hearts we'd find keys to unlock


      Am    G                  D             D       Am
every door. Dark would turn... into light... we'd be strong...

        D
we'd be right.

[Solo] :

C  D  C  D

C  D  C  D

G  Em  C  Am  Em  D

G  Em  C  Em  D

[Repeat chorus]

      G                 D                   Am
Hearts don't change... overnight... we'd be strong...

        D      C            D         C         D
we'd be right. So stay with me now.. the future is ours..

    Am                       E
and we'll be the ones who go on.
