Light Gives Heat

Verse 1:
D#m                    Am
Catch the rain empty hands
                               Bb
Save the children from their lands
                               D#m
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     D#m
The light gives heat

Verse 2:
D#m                              Am
It's not the way to light their way
                         Bb
Poison holes in empty fields
                   D#m
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:
D#m                     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  D#m )
