Song: New Way to Be Human
Artist: Switchfoot
Album: New Way to Be Human
==================================================================================================
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.

Em     G5             C6      R

 With all of our fashion
Am              F

 The God of redemption
Am                  Ebmaj7
  Could break our routine

 We all need forgiveness
