Let It Be Me

G  C  G  A   C C   D

G          C
Sticks and stones
G      A
Battle zones
C                               D
A single light bulb on a single thread for the black
G      C
Sirens wail
G       A
History fails
C                            D
Rose-colored glass begins to age and crack
          G                               A
While the politicians shadowbox the power ring
      G                            C
In an endless split decision never solve anything
       G                   A
From a neighbor's distant land
            C                        D
I heard the strain of the common man

          G
Let it be me
            C             Am       D
           (this is not a fighting song)
          G
Let it be me
             C       Am          D
              (not a wrong for a wrong)
          G  C
Let it be me
Am                G      A      C
  If the world is night
N.C                       G  C  G  A   C C   D
Shine my life like a light

G                    C
Well the world seems spent
G                 A
And the president
C                           D
Has no good idea Of who the masses are
     G          C
Well I'm one of them
        G     A
And I'm among friends
                C                            D
We're trying to see beyond the fences in our own backyards
              G                               A
I've seen the kingdoms blow like ashes in the winds of change
        G                     C
But the power of truth is the fuel for the flame
       G                A
So the darker the ages get
          C                  D
There's a stronger beacon yet

          G
Let it be me
            C             Am       D
           (this is not a fighting song)
          G
Let it be me
             C       Am          D
              (not a wrong for a wrong)
          G C
Let it be me
Am                G      A      C
  If the world is night
N.C                       G
Shine my life like a light

                     A
In the kind word you speak
C                   D
 In the turn of the cheek
G                       A
 When your vision stays clear
C                     D
 In the face of your fear
             G                                        A
Then you see turning out a light switch is their only power
        G                          C
When we stand like spotlights in a mighty tower
        G                A
All for one and one for all
        G                   D
Then we sing the common call

          G
Let it be me
            C             Am       D
           (this is not a fighting song)
          G
Let it be me
             C       Am          D
              (not a wrong for a wrong)
          G C
Let it be me
Am                G      A      C
  If the world is night
N.C                       G
Shine my life like a light
