[Intro 1]
[C][D][Am][C][D]
[Am]If it were just

[Verse 1]
[Am]
the be[C]st of us
Against the [D]rest [Am]of us
It [C]wouldn't even be an
argu[Am]ment [C]at all[D][Am]
It would be a vic[C]tory or
A Spanish [D]Civil [Am]War
But I'm [C]really not so sure that
is the way it is at [D]all
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Em]If we are to f[D]ind a way to live[C][Am]
Then we need to build
[Bm]ourselves [C]a bridge[Am]
And [Em]if we were t[D]o build
ourselves that [C]bridge[Am]
We could meet in [Bm]the middle and forgive
[C]

[Verse 3]
If [Am]all we are is d[C]ust to dust
Then in the end what's [D]left [Am]of us
Are [C]the traces of the way we treat
the ones we [D]meet[Am]
And the ones who [C]trouble us
The greatest [D]test [Bm]of us[D][Am]
[Bm]Seems [C]to me to be the way we disagree
[G][D][Am]

[Verse 4]
[Em]If we are to f[D]ind
a way to [C]live[Am]
Then we need to build
[Bm]ourselves [Em]a bridge[C][Am]
[Em]And if we were to buil[D]d
ourselves that [C]bridge[Am]
We could meet in [Bm]the middle and forgive
[C]Let's meet on the bridge
[Am]and forgive
Let's meet on [Bm]the bridge and forgive
[Am]Let's meet on the bridge and forgive
[Bm]

[Verse 5]
[G]If [Bm]there's hope [C]to b[D]e found[C][D]
We will find it in our common [Bm]ground
And if that [C]ground is to be [D]reached
There are walls around us
to be [Bm]breached[G]
And [Bm]if that br[G]each[C][D]
[C]can be mad[D]e
Drag the others through
don't be [Bm]afraid
Or [G]let [Bm]our differe[C]nces drag [D]us[C] down[D]

[Verse 6]
I believe we'll find our common ground
[G]I want us to fin[D]d a way to liv[C]e[Am]
[G]Roll up your sle[D]eves let's
build [C]a bridge[Am]
[G]I want us to [D]find a way to liv[C]e[Am]
Let's meet on [G]the bridge and forgive
[C]Let[Am]'s meet on the brid[G]ge and forgive
[C]Let's meet on the bridge and forgive
[Am]Let's meet on the brid[G]ge and
[C]forgive [Am](common ground)
Let's meet on [G]the bridge and

[Outro 1]
forgive (commonground)
[C][Am]
