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
[instrumental verse twice and fade]
