[A#m] [G#] [C#] [G#]
The [Fm] birds they sing [G#] at the [C#] break of day
[G#m] [G#] Start again, I heard [C#] them say
[F] God dwell on what [A#m] has passed away
Or what [C#] is yet to be
Yeah, [G#] [C#] the war, [F#] they [C#] will be fought again
[G#m] The [G#] holy dove, she [C#] will be caught again
[F] Barred and sold [A#m] and bought again
The [G#] dove is ever [C#] free
[G#] Ring [F#] the bells [B] that still [F#] ring
Forget [B] your perfect [F#] offering
There [C#] is a crack, [B] a crack [F#] in everything
That's how [D#] the light gets in
[D#m] We
[C#] [G#]
ask [Fm] for [C#] signs, [G#m] the [C#] signs were sent
[F#] The [G#] birth betrayed, [D#m] the [C#] marriage spent
[F] Yeah, the widowhood of [A#m] every government
[C] [A#m] [C#] Signs for all to see
[G#] I can't [C#] run no more with that lawless crowd
All the killers [G#] in our [F#] places say [C#] their prayers out loud
But [F] they've summoned, they've summoned a [A#m] big thunder cloud
They're gonna [G#] hear from me
Ring [G#m] [F#] the bells [B] that still [F#] ring
Forget [B] your perfect [F#] offering
There is [C#] a crack, [B] a crack [F#] in everything
That's how [D#m] the light gets in
You
[C#] [G#]
can add up the [C#] parts, you won't have the sum
You can [G#] strike up the march, there [C#] is no drum
Every [F] heart, [C#] every [A#m] heart to love
But [G#] like a refugee
[Fm] Ring [G#] the [F#] bells [B] that still [F#] ring
Forget [B] your perfect [F#] offering
There is [C#] a crack, [B] a crack in [F#] everything
That's how [A#m] the light gets in
Ring [C#]
[D#m] [C#] [G#]
[F#] the bells [B] that still [F#] ring
Forget [B] your perfect [F#] offering
There is [C#] a crack, [B] a crack [F#] in everything
That's how [D#m] the light gets in
That's how the [C#] light gets in
[G#] That's how the light gets in
