[Em]You [E]an d[Em] I,

[Verse 4]
[E]You and [D]I, we are [E]pressed
into these solitudes
Color and culture, [D]language [E]and race
Just vari[D]ations [E]on [A]a theme[D]
[E]Islands in a much larger [Em]stream[D][E]
[D][E]

[E]You and [D]I, we re[E]ject these
[D]narrow attitudes
We [E]add to each other,

[E]Building bridges [D]on the ocean floor
[E]Reaching for the [D]alien [Em]shore[E]

[G]race is not[A] a def[E]initio[F#m]n
[G]For[A] you an[E]d me,[Em][F#m]
[G]we hold these tru[A]ths to be sel[E]f-evident
[F#m]For Fo[G]r y[A]ou and [E]me,[F#m]
[G]we'd ele[A]ct each oth[E]er pre[F#m]s ident[G][A]
For [E]you and [F#m]me[G][A]
