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

Heya, if you stick a capo on 2 and transpose it down to D its easier to play and closer to the original, also the F# in the verse is a F#M. But most of this is pretty ace, thanks for doing the leg work!

Sorry no you are right it is F#. Capo tip is helpful though!
