Chords

[Throughout the song, Frank hammers on and off the G string. I have put these hammers in brackets next to their respective chords so you know what to do] Cmaj7/G = 332000 (332200) D/A = 554000 (554400) Em/B = 775000 (775500) Am7 = X02013 Bm = X24430 [Intro] Cma7/G Cmaj7/G D/A Em/B [Verse 1]
                     Cmaj7/G
If it were just the best of us

             D/A         Em/B
Against the rest of us

    Cmaj/G                         D/A     Em/B
It wouldn'€™t even be an argument at all

              Cmaj7/G
It would be a victory or

          D/A        Em/B
A Spanish Civil War

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

Em/B           D/A                Cmaj7/G
Then we need to build ourselves a bridge

   Em/B           D/A                Cmaj7/G
And if we were to build ourselves that bridge

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

             D/A         Em/B
Then in the end what'€™s left of us

        Cmaj/G                                D/A     Em/B
Are the traces of the way we treat the ones we meet

              Cmaj7/G
And the ones who trouble us

          D/A        Em/B
The greatest test of us

Cmaj7/G                         D/A     Em/B
Seems to me to be the way we disagree
[Chorus 2]
Em/B         D/A           Cmaj7/G
If we are to find a way to live

Em/B           D/A                Cmaj7/G
Then we need to build ourselves a bridge

   Em/B           D/A                Cmaj7/G
And if we were to build ourselves that bridge

Am7                  D/A           Cmaj7/G
We could meet in the middle and forgive

Am7                  D/A           Cmaj7/G
Let'€™s meet on the bridge and forgive

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

                 D/A           Cmaj7/G
Let'€™s meet on the bridge and forgive
(Let'€™s meet on the bridge and forgive) [Bridge]
Bm        Cmaj7/G      D/A
If there'€™s hope to be found
We will find it in our common ground
Bm        Cmaj7/G          D/A
And if that ground is to be reached
There are walls around us to be breached
Bm        Cmaj7/G          D/A
And if that breach can be made
Drag the others through don'€™t be afraid
Bm          Cmaj7/G          D/A
Or let our differences drag us down
I believe we'€™ll find our common ground [Outro]
G            D             C
I want us to find a way to live

G            D             C
Roll up your sleeves let'€™s build a bridge

G            D             C
I want us to find a way to live

Am7                  D           C
Let'€™s meet on the bridge and forgive

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

                 D              C
Let'€™s meet on the bridge and forgive
(Let'€™s meet on the bridge and forgive)
Am7                  D           C
Let'€™s meet on the bridge and forgive (common ground)

Am7                  D           C
Let'€™s meet on the bridge and forgive (common ground)
End on Am7
