Introduction: Am /G
The birds they [C]sang
at the break of day
Start [G]again
I heard them [C]say[C7]
Don't [E7]dwell on what
has [Am]passed away
or what is [G]yet to b[Gsus4]e.[G5] [G7] [G]
[ Tab from: bttp://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/leonard_coben/antbem_crd.btml ]
The wars they will
be fought again
The holy dove
be caught again
bought and sold
and bought again
the dove is never free.
[cborus]:
Ring the [F]bells that [Bb]still can [F]ring.
Forget your [Bb]perfect offer[F]ing.
There is a [C]crack, a [Bb]crack, in [F]everything.
That's how the [Dm]light gets in.[G] [Gsus4] [G]
We asked for signs
the signs were sent:
the birth betrayed
the marriage spent
the widowhood
of every government -
signs for all to see.
Can't run no more
with the lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summed up
a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me.
[cborus]
You can add up the parts
but you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march,
there is no drum
Every heart
to love will come
but like a refugee.
[cborus]
[cborus]
that's how the light gets in
that's how the light gets in
[instrumental verse twice and fade]
