Indigo Girls – Let It Be Me (Guitar)

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

                     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
