Am C G


[Verse 1]
               C           F*        C
The birds they sang, at the break of day
      C        F*          C
Start again, I heard them say
      E7                 Am
Don't dwell, on what has passed away
           G         G* G
or what is yet to be


[Verse 2]
       C          F*      C
Oh the wars, they will be fought again
         C         F*      C
The holy dove, she will be caught again
          E7         Am
Bought and sold, and bought again
            G          G* G
The dove is never free


[Chorus]
         F          Bb        F
Ring the bells that still can ring
    F       Bb           F
Forget your perfect offering
           C        Bb        F
There is a crack, a crack, in everything
                       Dm     G
That's how the light gets in


[Verse 3]
             C          F*         C
We asked for signs, the signs were sent:
             C          F*       C
The birth betrayed, the marriage spent
          E7                  Am
Yeah, the widowhood, of every government -
          G           G* G
Signs for all to see


[Verse 4]
            C            F*       C
And I can't run no more, with the lawless crowd
          C                      F*        C
While the killers in high places say their prayers out loud
            E7                              Am
But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud
             G             G* G
They're gonna hear from me


[Chorus]
         F          Bb        F
Ring the bells that still can ring
    F       Bb           F
Forget your perfect offering
           C        Bb        F
There is a crack, a crack, in everything
                       Dm     G
That's how the light gets in
               G             G* G
That's how the light gets in


[Verse 5]
                   C              F*             C
You can add up the parts, but you won't have the sum
                      C            F*    C
You can strike up the march, there is no drum
      E7                    Am
Every heart, every heart to love will come,
           G       G* G
But like a refugee


[Chorus]
         F          Bb        F
Ring the bells that still can ring
    F       Bb           F
Forget your perfect offering
           C        Bb        F
There is a crack, a crack, in everything
                       Dm     G
That's how the light gets in
               G             G* G
That's how the light gets in
               G             G* G
That's how the light gets in
