[Capo 3]
[Intro]
[G] [C] [G] [A] [C] [C] [D]
[Verse 1]
[G]Sticks and [C]stones
[G]Battle [A]zones
[C]A single light bulb on a single [D]thread for the black
[G]Sirens [C]wail
[G]History [A]fails
[C]Rose-colored glass begins to [D]age and crack
While the [G]politicians shadowbox the power [A]ring
In an [G]endless split decision never [C]solve anything
From a [G]neighbor's distant l[A]and
I heard the [C]strain of the common man[D]
[Chorus]
Let it be [G]me
([C]this is not a [Am]fighting [D]song)
Let it be [G]me
[C] (not a [Am]wrong for a [D]wrong)
Let it be [G]me[C]
[Am] If the world is [G]night[A][C]
N.C G C G A C C D
Shine my life like a light
[Verse 2]
[G]Well the world seems [C]spent
[G]And the president[A]
[C]Has no good idea Of who the [D]masses are
Well [G]I'm one of [C]them
And I'm [G]among [A]friends
We're trying to [C]see beyond the fences in our [D]own backyards
I've seen the [G]kingdoms blow like ashes in the [A]winds of change
But the [G]power of truth is the [C]fuel for the flame
So the [G]darker the ages g[A]et
There's a [C]stronger beacon yet[D]
[Chorus]
Let it be [G]me
([C]this is not a [Am]fighting [D]song)
Let it be [G]me
[C] (not a [Am]wrong for a [D]wrong)
Let it be [G]me[C]
[Am] If the world is [G]night[A][C]
N.C G
Shine my life like a light
[Bridge]
In the kind word you [A]speak
[C] In the turn of the [D]cheek
[G] When your vision stays [A]clear
[C] In the face of your f[D]ear
Then you see [G]turning out a light switch is their only [A]power
When we [G]stand like spotlights in a [C]mighty tower
All for [G]one and one for a[A]ll
Then we [G]sing the common call[D]
[Chorus]
Let it be [G]me
([C]this is not a [Am]fighting [D]song)
Let it be [G]me
[C] (not a [Am]wrong for a [D]wrong)
Let it be [G]me[C]
[Am] If the world is [G]night[A][C]
N.C G
Shine my life like a light
