Verse 1:
Ebm                    Am
Catch the rain empty hands
                               Bb
Save the children from their lands
                               Ebm
Wash the darkness from their skin
                 Am
Heroes from the west
                            Bb
We don't know you, we know best

But this is not a test


Chorus:
Bb                       F
You treat me like I'm blind
C         G             F            C
Setting fires around houses on the hill
     G            Bb
But light gives heat
Bb                 F
You segregate my mind
C          G               F      C
Burning crosses from your fears, oh
     G           Bb     C     Ebm
The light gives heat

Verse 2:
Ebm                              Am
It's not the way to light their way
                         Bb 
Poison holes in empty fields
                   Ebm
Oh, how good it feels
                       Am
Lower-class, and understate
                       Bb
Empty promise, empty plate

Chorus:
Bb                      F
You treat me like I'm blind
C         G             F           C
Setting fires around houses on the hill
G             Bb
Light gives heat
       Bb          F
You segregate my mind
  C       G                 F           C
Burning crosses from your fears, your fears
      G          Bb
But light gives heat, gives heat

Chorus:
Ebm                     F
You treat me like I'm blind
C         G            F            C
Setting fires around houses on the hill
      G          Bb
But light gives heat
Bb                F
You segregate my mind
C         G                 F     C
Burning crosses from your fears, oh
     G           Bb        
The light gives heat


Bridge:
      Bb                   F        C
Will you teach us how to love?
G                      F
To see the things you see
C                    G
Walk the road you walked
Bb
Feel the pain that you feel
   F              C
At your feet I kneel,
    G                F
I want to see you shine
    C               G
See your light not mine
        Bb          G
'Cause light gives heat
       Bb          G
Your light gives heat

End:
Bb - Ebm
