Chorus 1 (12/8):
Bb/F		     Ebadd2	    Bb		      Ab7
    Where people are coming together   and people are falling apart,
Gm7		     Bb/F	              Eb6		      Ab7
    And no one can hide—we’re caught in the tide and punched in the heart.
Bb/F		 Ebadd2		   Bb		     Ab7
    People are harder than diamonds.  And people are stronger than knives.
Gm7		        Bb/F		        Eb6
    We breathe and we burn, but we’ll never return
                    C7
For the rest of our   lives,
Ebadd2		   Fsus4   Bb		      Ebadd2	       Bb
   For the rest of our    lives.  (People are coming together...)

   Come down to the water, come down to the water.

   Where people are coming together  and people are falling apart,
Gm7			 Bb/F		       Eb6		    Ab7
   We’re branded and blind, and we try to rewind, to reset and restart.
Bb/F          Ebadd2	       Bb		 Ab7
   People are louder than fire,  and people are stronger than knives.
Gm7			  Bb/F			 Eb6
   We’ll pick up the slack, but we’ll never go back
		        C7
For the rest of our lives,
Ebadd2	          Fsus4 Bb	           Eb	          Bb	     Ebadd2
