Chords with lyrics

[Intro]
A minorAm   FF   C majorC   G+G

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

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

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

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

     FF         E minorEm
But you know the change the world needs now
DmDm       G+G
Is there, in everyone
[Guitar solo (not positive of the exact chord progression, but the solo is over something like…)]

[Verse]
C majorC
The unpaid debts of history
FF         C majorC
The open wounds of time
 C majorC           A minorAm    FF        Fm6Fm6
The laws of human nature always tugging from behind
C majorC
I want to think that the earth can heal
     FF         D MajorD
And that people might still learn
C majorC               F/CF/C
How to meet this world's true challenges
      C majorC           G+G
And that the course we're on could turn

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

[Bridge]
A minorAm         FF
You don't know why it's such a far cry
C majorC          G+G      C majorC
From the world, this world could be
A minorAm           FF
You don't know why, but you still try
C majorC             G+G
For the world you wish to see
A minorAm           FF
You don't know how (it) it’ll happen now
FF        E MajorE  A minorAm
After all that's come undone
FF                   C majorC      Fm6Fm6
And you know the world you're waiting for, may not come

G+G
No it may not come
Fm6Fm6             C majorC
But you know the change the world needs now
DmDm      G+G
Is there, in everyone
