AmCG
[Verse 1]
CF* C
The birds they sang, at the break of day
CF* C
Start again, I heard them say
E7Am
Don't dwell, on what has passed away
GG* G
or what is yet to be
[Verse 2]
CF* C
Oh the wars, they will be fought again
CF* C
The holy dove, she will be caught again
E7Am
Bought and sold, and bought again
GG* G
The dove is never free
[Chorus]
FBbF
Ring the bells that still can ring
FBbF
Forget your perfect offering
CBbF
There is a crack, a crack, in everything
DmG
That's how the light gets in
[Verse 3]
CF* C
We asked for signs, the signs were sent:
CF* C
The birth betrayed, the marriage spent
E7Am
Yeah, the widowhood, of every government -
GG* G
Signs for all to see
[Verse 4]
CF* C
And I can't run no more, with the lawless crowd
CF* C
While the killers in high places say their prayers out loud
E7Am
But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud
GG* G
They're gonna hear from me
[Chorus]
FBbF
Ring the bells that still can ring
FBbF
Forget your perfect offering
CBbF
There is a crack, a crack, in everything
DmG
That's how the light gets in
GG* G
That's how the light gets in
[Verse 5]
CF* C
You can add up the parts, but you won't have the sum
CF* C
You can strike up the march, there is no drum
E7Am
Every heart, every heart to love will come,
GG* G
But like a refugee
[Chorus]
FBbF
Ring the bells that still can ring
FBbF
Forget your perfect offering
CBbF
There is a crack, a crack, in everything
DmG
That's how the light gets in
GG* G
That's how the light gets in
GG* G
That's how the light gets in
