Introduction: Am /G
C The birds they sang
At the break of day
G Start again
C C7 I heard them say
E7 Don't dwell on what
Am Has passed away
G Gsus4 G5 G7 G Or what is yet to be.
The wars they will Be fought again The holy dove Be caught again Bought and sold And bought again The dove is never free.
[chorus]: F Bb F Ring the bells that still can ring.
Bb F Forget your perfect offering.
C Bb F There is a crack, a crack, in everything.
Dm G Gsus4 G That's how the light gets in.
We asked for signs The signs were sent: The birth betrayed The marriage spent The widowhood Of every government - Signs for all to see.
Can't run no more With the lawless crowd While the killers in high places Say their prayers out loud. But they've summed up A thundercloud And they're going to hear from me.
[chorus]
You can add up the parts But you won't have the sum You can strike up the march, There is no drum Every heart To love will come But like a refugee.
[chorus]
[chorus]
That's how the light gets in That's how the light gets in
