[Verse 1]
C                                    G
If you gotta start somewhere why not here.
Am                                   F
If you gotta start sometime why not now.
C                                  G
If we gotta start somewhere I say here.
Am                                 F
If we gotta start sometime I say now.
Dm
Through the fog there is hope in the distance.
Am                                       C
From cathedrals to third world missions.
                                           G
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave.
 
[Chorus]
C                                              G
Tonight's the night, for the sinners and the saints.
             Am                     F
Two worlds collide, in a beautiful display.
C                                                 G
It's all love tonight, when you step across the line.
                      Am                       F
We can sail across the sea, to a city with one King.
               C     G
A city on our knees.
               Am    F
A city on our knees.
 
[Verse 2]
C                                    G
If you gotta start somewhere why not here.
Am                                   F
If you gotta start sometime why not now.
C                                  G
If we gotta start somewhere I say here.
Am                                 F
If we gotta start sometime I say now.
Dm
Through the fog there is hope in the distance.
Am                                       C
From cathedrals to third world missions.
                                           G
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave.
 
[Chorus]
C                                              G
Tonight's the night, for the sinners and the saints.
             Am                     F
Two worlds collide, in a beautiful display.
C                                                 G
It's all love tonight, when you step across the line.
                      Am                       F

               C     G   Am                    F
A city on our knees.    A city on our knees.
 
[Bridge]
C
Tonight couldn't last forever.
        G
We are one choice from together.
Bb                               F
Tonight couldn't last forever.    Oh
C
Tonight couldn't last forever.
        G
We are one choice from together.
Bb             F
Family, We're family.   OH!!! 
C
Tonight couldn't last forever!
        G
We are one choice from together!
        Bb           F
You and me! yeah, You and me!
 
[Chorus]
C                                              G
Tonight's the night, for the sinners and the saints.
             Am                     F
Two worlds collide, in a glorious display.
C                                                 G
It's all love tonight, when you step across the line.
                      Am                        F
We can sail across the sea, to a city with one King.
               C     G   Am                    F
A city on our knees.    A city on our knees.
 
[Ending]
C                                    G
If we gotta start somewhere why not here.
Am                                  F
If we gotta start sometime why not now.

VERSES 1 AND 2 - The [A] at "crashing Wave" should be a [G]. CHORUS - The [Dm] at "sail across the sea" should be an [Am]. - The [Am} at "city with one King" should be an [F]. Everything else was great though. Thanks for posting this!
