Standing In The Breach Chords by Jackson Browne

[C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Am] Though the earth may [F] tremble _ [C] and our [G] foundations [C] crack, _
_ [Am] _ we will all [F] assemble _ [G] and we will build
them back and [Am] _ rush to save [F] the lives remaining [C] still [E] within [A] our reach.
_ [C] _ Try to put [F] our world together _ standing in the [C] breach. _
_ _ So many live in poverty [F] while others live as [C] kings.
_ _ Though some may find [Am] peace in the acceptance of [Dm] all that living [G] brings, [C] _ _ _ I will never _ understand
_ [F] _ _ however they've [D] prepared.
_ _ [C] So how one life may be struck down _ and another life be spared. _
_ _ [Am] Though the earth may [F] tremble and [C] cast [G] our works [C] aside, _ _ [Am] and though our efforts [F] resemble _
_ _ [C] _ _ fluctuating [G] tide, _ _ [Am] we rise and [F] fall with the trust in beneath [C] that [E] love redeems [Am] our sea _
_ [C] and bend our backs and hearts together [F] _ standing in the [C] breach. _
_ [Am] You don't know [F] why it's such a far [C] cry from the [G] world this [C] world could be. _
[Am] _ You don't know [F] why, but you still [C] try for the world you wish to [G] see. _ _
[Am] _ You don't know [F] how it'll happen [E] now after all that's come [Am] _ undone, but [Fm] you know the [Em] change
the world needs now [D] is there _ [G] in everyone. _

_ _ [C] The unpaid debts [G] of history, _ [F] the open wounds [C] of time, _ _ _ the laws of [Am] human nature _ [F] always [Gm] chugging from [Fm] behind.
_ _ [C] I want to think that the earth can heal [G] and [F] that people might still [F#m] learn _ [C] how to meet
this world's true challenges _ and that the course we're on could turn. _
_ [Am] _ Though the earth [F] may tremble _ [G] and the oceans pitch [C] and rise, _ [Am] _ we [G] will [F] all assemble _
_ [C] and we
[G] will lift our eyes [Am] to the tasks that [Em] we [F] know lie before us [Em] and the [E] power of [Am] prayers besieged
[C] and cast our souls into the heaven [F] _ standing in [C] the breach. _
_ [Am] You don't know [F] why it's such a far [C] cry from the [G] world this [C] world could be. _
_ [Am] You don't [F] know why, but you still [C] try for the world you wish [G] to see. _
[Am] _ You don't know [F] how it'll happen [E] now after all that's come [Am] undone, but you [Fm] know the [C] world
you're waiting for may not [D] come.
[Cm] No, it may not come, [Fm] but you know the [C] change the world needs now is [D] there _ _ [G] in everyone. _
