Indigo Girls - Let it be me

^GSticks and ^Cstones ^GBattle ^Azones ^CA single light bulb on a single ^Dthread for the black

^GSirens ^Cwail ^GHistory ^Afails ^CRose-colored glass begins to ^Dage and crack

While the ^Gpoliticians shadowbox the power ^Aring In an ^Gendless split decision never ^Csolve anything From a ^Gneighbor's distant l^Aand I heard the ^Cstrain of the common man ^D

Let it be ^Gme (^Cthis is not a ^Amfighting ^Dsong) Let it be ^Gme ^C (not a ^Amwrong for a ^Dwrong) Let it be ^Gme ^{C Am} If the world is ^Gnight ^{A C N.C}Shine my life like a light^{G C G A C C D}

^GWell the world seems ^Cspent ^GAnd the president ^{A C}Has no good idea Of who the ^Dmasses are

Well ^GI'm one of ^Cthem And I'm ^Gamong ^Afriends We're trying to ^Csee beyond the fences in our ^Down backyards

I've seen the ^Gkingdoms blow like ashes in the ^Awinds of change But the ^Gpower of truth is the ^Cfuel for the flame So the ^Gdarker the ages g^Aet There's a ^Cstronger beacon yet^D

Let it be ^Gme (^Cthis is not a ^Amfighting ^Dsong) Let it be ^Gme ^C (not a ^Amwrong for a ^Dwrong) Let it be ^Gme^{C Am} If the world is ^Gnight ^{A C N.C}Shine my life like a light^G

In the kind word you ^Aspeak ^C In the turn of the ^Dcheek ^G When your vision stays ^Aclear ^C In the face of your f^Dear

Then you see ^Gturning out a light switch is their only ^Apower When we ^Gstand like spotlights in a ^Cmighty tower All for ^Gone and one for a^All Then we ^Gsing the common call^D

Let it be ^Gme (^Cthis is not a ^Amfighting ^Dsong) Let it be ^Gme ^C (not a ^Amwrong for a ^Dwrong) Let it be ^Gme^{C Am} If the world is ^Gnight ^{A C N.C}Shine my life like a light^G
