Unsure about a few chords in the break but think this is pretty close. To get the picking right use
open chords and thumb pick the bass note with the higher strings alternately. The second chord in the main
progression is hard to place but I have it down as something like the chord below,
a variation of Em/G#. If anyone can get it more accurate please comment! :)
Em/G# F#dim

[Verse 1]
C Em/G# Am Am7/G
History's been leaning on me lately;
Fmaj7 G
I can feel the future breathing down my neck
C Em/G#
And all the things I thought were true
Am Am7/G
When I was young, and you were too
Fmaj7
Turned out to be broken
G
And I don't know what comes next
[Chorus]
Am F
In a world that has decided
C G
That it's going to lose its mind
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
C Em/G# Am Am7/G Fmaj7 G
[Verse 2]
C Em/G# Am Am7/G
They've started raising walls around the world now
Fmaj7 G
Like hackles raised upon a cornered cat
C Em/G#
On the borders, in our heads
Am Am7/G
Between things that can and can't be said
Fmaj7
We've stopped talking to each other
G
And there's something wrong with that
[Chorus]
Am F
So before you go out searching
C G
Don't decide what you will find
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
[Break]
C Em
You should know
Am F#dim
you're not alone
C Em
And that trouble comes,
Am F#dim
and trouble goes
C Em
How this ends,
Am F#dim
no one knows
C Em
So hold on tight
Am
when the wind blows
Fmaj7 G C
Am Fmaj7 C
[Verse 3]
C Em/G# Am Am7/G
The wind blew both of us to sand and sea
Fmaj7 G
And where the dry land stands is hard to say
C Em/G#
As the current drags us by the shore
Am Am7/G
We can no longer say for sure
Fmaj7 G
Who's drowning, or if they can be saved
[Chorus]
Am F
But when you're out there floundering
C G
Like a lighthouse I will shine
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
Am F
Like a beacon reaching out
C G
To you and yours from me and mine
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
Am F
In a world that has decided
C G
That it's going to lose its mind
Am F C
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind
