Song: Build Us Back
Band: Newsboys
Album: Born Again

I play it with a capo on the 2. fret like they do in the song. But if you dont wanna 
play with capo it is : Em = F#m, C=D, G=A, D=E

It sounds better if you play the chords like this:

Em = 0,2,2,0,3,3  C = x,3,2,0,3,3  G = 3,2,0,0,3,3 and D is normal (

Just always let 2 Fingers on the 3. fret of the e-string and b-string. (With Capo 2!)



Intro: C, Em, G, D (2x)


Verse 1:
Em
We've been crumbled, we've been crushed
        C
City walls have turned to dust
            G                D
Uh oh oh, Uh oh oh
             Em
Broken hands and blistered feet
       C
We walk for miles to find relief
            G                D
Uh oh oh, Uh oh oh


Chorus
Em                                    C
When the thief takes, when our hopes cave
G                               D
You build us back, You build us back
Em                                        C
When the earth shakes, when the world breaks
G                                D
You build us back, You build us back

Interlude:  C, Em, G, D (2x)


Verse 2:
            Em
We are scared, we are poor
             C
All our safety nets are torn
            G                D
Uh oh oh, Uh oh oh
                    Em
We've been humbled to our knees
                    C
From these ruins, we believe
            G                D
Uh oh oh, Uh oh oh


Chorus


Bridge
Em
Redeemer, redeem us
C                   G
Restorer, restore us
                  D
You build us back
           D                         Em
Though the mountains be shaken, the hills be removed
C                        G
Your unfailing love remains
       D                             Em
After all that's been taken, Your promise, still sacred
C                                   D
You build us back with precious stones
D


Chorus 4x
