Standing In The Breach chords by Jackson Browne

[Intro]
Am     F     C      G

[Refrain]
Am                   F            C        G      C
Though the earth may tremble, and our foundations crack
Am            F          C                  G
We will all assemble and we will build them back
Am                         F
And rush to save the lives remaining
C     E          Am
Still within our reach
C                    F/C       F              C
Try to put our world together, standing in the breach.

[Verse]
C                              F              C
So many live in poverty, while others live as kings
C                 Am                                  D          G Aug5
And some may find peace in the acceptance of all that living brings
C                               F       D
I will never understand however they’ve prepared
C                          F/C      C               G
How one life may be struck down and another life be spared

[Refrain]
Am                   F            C        G     C
Though the earth may tremble, and cast our works aside
Am                 F          C              G
Though our efforts resemble, the fluctuating tide
Am                        F
We rise and fall with the trust and belief
      C   E          Am
That love redeems us each
C                             F/C       F               C
And bend our backs and hearts together, standing in the breach.

[Bridge]
Am                   F
You don't know why it's such a far cry
C                  G        C
From the world this world could be
Am                 F
You don't know why but you still try
C                         G
For the world you wish to see
Am                  F
You don't know how, it’ll happen now
      E                Am
After all that's come undone

         F                  Em
But you know the change the world needs now
Dm             G
Is there, in everyone
[Guitar solo (not positive of the exact chord progression, but the solo is over something like…)]
C     Fm6    C    G    C    F    C    F    C    F    C    G    Am    F    C    E    Am    F    C    G    C

[Verse]
C
The unpaid debts of history
F                  C
The open wounds of time
 C                     Am        F               Fm6
The laws of human nature always tugging from behind
C
I want to think that the earth can heal
         F                  D
And that people might still learn
C                             F/C
How to meet this world's true challenges
            C                      G
And that the course we're on could turn

[Refrain]
Am                        F              C      G         C
And though the earth may tremble and the oceans pitch and rise
Am          F              C              G
We will all assemble and we will lift our eyes
Am                           F
To the tasks that we know lie before us
        C     E           Am
And the power our prayers beseech
    C                 F/C            F               C
And cast our souls into the heavens, standing in the breach

[Bridge]
Am                 F
You don't know why it's such a far cry
C                    G           C
From the world, this world could be
Am                     F
You don't know why, but you still try
C                         G
For the world you wish to see
Am                      F
You don't know how (it) it’ll happen now
F                E    Am
After all that's come undone
F                                     C            Fm6
And you know the world you're waiting for, may not come

G
No it may not come
Fm6                         C
But you know the change the world needs now
Dm            G
Is there, in everyone
