[F] [G] Sure it is a rough time, [C] huh?
[N]
[A]
[G] I don't want to put any ideas in your head, but
it used to be [F] that you could just do new [Cm] songs all the time and [F] people, you know, felt
[G] they'd gotten a great preview, you know, preview of the record.
Now, you know, like you wind [Ab] up hearing it like the next [C] day on YouTube.
[Am]
[F] [G]
[C]
I started to write this song about the, well I did, I wrote this song about the earthquake in Haiti.
[G] [C]
[E] And along the [G] way it became a song [C] about some of the things, so it took a while to [F] complete.
[D]
[C] [Am]
Though the [F] earth may tumble, [C]
and our [G] foundations [C] crack,
[Am]
We will [F] all assemble, [C]
and we will [G] build them back.
[Am]
That's a [C] really new song.
Though the
[G] [Am]
[F] earth may tumble, [G] and our foundations [C] crack,
[Am]
We [A] will all [F] assemble, [C] and we [G] will build them back.

[Dm] That
[Ab] [Dm] [C]
could be the first night of the tour.

[E] [C]
[Am]
Though the earth may tumble, [F] [C] and our [G] foundations [C] crack,
[Am] We will all [F] assemble, [C] and we will [G] build them back.
[Am] And Russia say [F] the blind see me, [C] still [E]
will [Am] I reach.
[C] Try to put [G] our world together, [F] standing in the [C] breach.
Some may live in poverty, [F] while others live as [C] kings.
But some may [Am] find peace, in the acceptance [Dm] of all that [D] living brings.
[Fm] [C] I will never understand, [F] how I'll never live [Gb] repaired.
How [C] one life may be struck [Dm] down, [C] and another life be [G] spared.
[Am] Though the earth [F] may tumble, and [C] cast out the side,
[Am] Though our efforts [F] resemble, [C] the [G]
fluctuating tide,
[Am] We rise and [F] fall with the trust and belief, [C] that [Ab] love redeems [Am] our seed.
[C] And bend our backs and [D] hearts together, [F] standing in the [C] breach.
[Am] You don't [F] know, honey, it's such a far [C] cry, from the [G] world this world [C] could be.
[Am] You don't know, [F] honey, but you still try, [C] for the world you [G] wish to see.
[Am] You don't know, [F] honey, it'll happen now, [E] after all come [Am] undone.
[Fm] But you know, the [C] change that the world needs now, is [Fm] there, [F]
[G] in everyone.

[Fm] [C]
[F] [Fm] [C]
[G] [C] The unpaid debts of history, [F] the open wounds of [C] time,
The laws [Am] of human nature, [F] are always tugging from [G] behind.
[Fm] [D] I [C] want to think, that the earth can heal, [F] and the people might [Gb] still learn,
How [C] to meet this world's true [F] challenges, [G] and that [C] the course we all could [F] turn.
[G] [Am] Though the earth [F] may tremble, [C] and the [G] oceans be churned [C] and mud,
[Am] We will all [F] assemble, [C] and we will lift [F] our eyes,
[Am] To the task that we [F] know lies before us, [C] and the [Ab] power [Am] that we seek.
[C] And lift our [F] souls and commands, standing in the [C] breach.
[Am] You don't know, [F] honey, it's such a far [C] cry, [G] from the world this [C] world could be.
[Am] You don't [F] know, honey, but you still try, [C] for the world you wish to [G] see.
[C] [Am] You don't [F] know, honey, it'll happen now, [E] after all come [Am] undone.
