                    Cmaj7
If it were just the best of us

            D          Am7
Against the rest of us

   Cmaj7                                  D     Am7
It wouldn't even really be an argument at all

              Cmaj7
It would be a victory or

          D          Am7
A Spanish Civil War

        Cmaj7                                       D    Am7
But I'm really not so sure that is the way it is at all
[Chorus 1]
Am7          D               Cmaj7
If we are to find a way to live

Am7             D                     Cmaj7
Then we need to build ourselves a bridge

Am7               D                        Cmaj7
And if we were to build ourselves that bridge

Am7                  D                 Cmaj7
We could meet in the middle and forgive
[Verse 2]
                 Cmaj7
If all we are is dust to dust

                       D            Am7
Then in the end what's left of us

        Cmaj7                                  D      Am7
Are the traces of the way we treat the ones we meet

                 Cmaj7
And the ones who trouble us

             D           Am7
The greatest test of us

Cmaj7                            D      Am7
Seems to me to be the way we disagree
[Chorus 2]
Am7          D                 Cmaj7
If we are to find a way to live

Am7             D                       Cmaj7
Then we need to build ourselves a bridge

Am7               D                          Cmaj7
And if we were to build ourselves that bridge

Am7                  D                 Cmaj7
We could meet in the middle and forgive

Am7               D                 Cmaj7
Let's meet on the bridge and forgive

                                     Am7
(Let's meet on the bridge and forgive)

                  D                 Cmaj7
Let's meet on the bridge and forgive

                                      D
(Let's meet on the bridge and forgive)
[Bridge]
D          Am7        D
If there's hope to be found

Am7                           D
We will find it in our common ground

            Am7             D
And if that ground is to be reached

Am7                             D
There are walls around us to be breached

            Am7           D
And if that breach can be made

Am7                                     D
Drag the others through don't be afraid

           Am7                 D
Or let our differences drag us down

D
I believe we'll find our common ground
[Chorus 3]
Am7*         D             Cmaj7
I want us to find a way to live

Am7          D                           Cmaj7
Roll up your sleeves let’s build a bridge

Am7          D               Cmaj7
I want us to find a way to live

Am7               D              Cmaj7
Let's meet on the bridge and forgive

                                    Am7
(Let's meet on the bridge and forgive)

                  D               Cmaj7
Let's meet on the bridge and forgive

                                    Am7
(Let's meet on the bridge and forgive)

                  D             Cmaj7
Let's meet on the bridge and forgive (common ground)

Am7               D             Cmaj7
Let's meet on the bridge and forgive (common ground)
