You can play C6 as C5add11 (i.e. C6 without the E note).
It's easier to tab the chorus, so it's tabbed; if you want chord names they are appended 
at the end of the song.

Verse 1:
Em     G5             C6      R
  Everyday it's the same thing
Em        G5           C6 R
  Another trend has begun

Hey kids, this might be the one

Verse 2:
Em       G5         C6
  It's a race to be noticed
Em         G5         C6

Hey kids, we can't be the ones

Prechorus 1:
C               F
 With all of our fashion
Am              F
  We're still incomplete
C             F
 The God of redemption
Am                  Ebmaj7
  Could break our routine

*"+" marks the start of each bar.

      Em         G5    C6    R
And where is our inspiration?

 We all need forgiveness

  We're longing inside
