Common Ground

                    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
Continúa después del anuncio
             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)
