did not know how to name them. I also put – for A2 to avoir confusion bacause of the 12’s.

C
You said you'd light a candle
Am
And you'd say a prayer for me
G F
I feel the light has dimmed and gone
C
Half the world is begging
Am
While the other half steals
G F
Why is everything so wrong?
C
Some days I can't believe
Am
Others I'm on my knees
G F (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
G F
Somehow I can't let it go
I can't let it go
INTRO RIFF 2X
And half the world is sleeping
While the other half dreams
You close your eyes
And then you're gone
And maybe my intentions
Have been misunderstood
I know you feel so beautifully wronged
Some days I can't believe
Others I'm on my knees
Hoping I belong
CHORUS
INTRO RIFF 2X
B Am
And laughter is my soul's release
F C
But we're not smiling anymore
B Am
Can't we try to win this peace
G
Cause we're never gonna win
F
Never gonna win this war
CHORUS
