Intro riff: C2E2D2C2A2
D2C2 2X
C You said you'd light a candle
Am And you'd say a prayer for me
GF I feel the light has dimmed and gone
C Half the world is begging
Am While the other half steals
GF Why is everything so wrong?
 
C Some days I can't believe
Am Others I'm on my knees
GF (optional) Trying to be heard
 CHORUS: 
C I was your anger
Am And you were my fear
G Now that it's over
F Of course it's so clear
C But you were no angel
Am And I was no sin
GF Somehow I can't let it go
I can't let it go 
BAm And laughter is my soul's release
FC But we're not smiling anymore
BAm Can't we try to win this peace
G Cause we're never gonna win
F Never gonna win this war
