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   
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 
 
  
 
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 
  
 
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
