Verse 1:
Dm                    Am
Catch the rain empty hands

                               Bb
Save the children from their lands

                               Dm
Wash the darkness from their skin

                 Am
Heroes from the west

                            Bb
We don't know you, we know best
But this is not a test Chorus:
Bb                       F
You treat me like I'm blind

C         Gm           F            C
Setting fires around houses on the hill

     Gm          Bb
But light gives heat

Bb                 F
You segregate my mind

C          Gm              F      C
Burning crosses from your fears, oh

     Gm          Bb     C     Dm
The light gives heat
Verse 2:
Dm                              Am
It's not the way to light their way

                         Bb
Poison holes in empty fields

                   Dm
Oh, how good it feels

                       Am
Lower-class, and understate

                       Bb
Empty promise, empty plate
Chorus:
Bb                      F
You treat me like I'm blind

C         Gm             F           C
Setting fires around houses on the hill

G             Bb
Light gives heat

       Bb          F
You segregate my mind

  C       Gm                F           C
Burning crosses from your fears, your fears

      Gm         Bb
But light gives heat, gives heat

Dm                     F
You treat me like I'm blind

C         Gm           F            C
Setting fires around houses on the hill

      Gm         Bb
But light gives heat

Bb                F
You segregate my mind

C         Gm                F     C
Burning crosses from your fears, oh

The light gives heat
Bridge:
      Bb                   F        C
Will you teach us how to love?

Gm                     F
To see the things you see

C                    Gm
Walk the road you walked

Bb
Feel the pain that you feel

   F              C
At your feet I kneel,

    Gm             F
I want to see you shine

    C               Gm
See your light not mine

        Bb          Gm
'Cause light gives heat

       Bb          Gm
Your light gives heat
Ending: Bb - Dm
