Frank Turner - Common Ground Chords

[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
