Em C G D


[verse]
          Em         C
Tears on a six string
       G                   D
Another angel gone, leaving you all alone
                  Em      C
Dealing with your demons
             G
I know you're laying there
         D                                         C
Wondering if your prayers ever make it through the ceiling too
                        D
Yeah I know what you're going through


[chorus]
          Em                C
If I could write the perfect song
             G                    D
Make a little right out of all the wrongs
                    Em                     C
Would you close your eyes, would you let it in
                     G                 D
Would you light your candle against the wind
           Em              C
If I could sing the perfect words
              G                 D
And change the world, unhurt the hurt
              Em                C
That we're all feeling, stop the bleeding
            G
Get back to believing
           D                    Em      C G D Em C
Love is the answer and music is healing


[verse]
              G
And there's a lot of souls
       D                              Em      C
Looking for the high road, everybody's needing
                   G
Maybe just a little simple melody
          D                             C                            D
Is all we need to keep our broken hearts beating true, get the whole world in tune



[chorus]
          Em                C
If I could write the perfect song
             G                    D
Make a little right out of all the wrongs
                    Em                     C
Would you close your eyes, would you let it in
                     G                 D
Would you light your candle against the wind
           Em              C
If I could sing the perfect words
              G                 D
And change the world, unhurt the hurt
              Em                C
That we're all feeling, stop the bleeding
            G
Get back to believing
           D                    
Love is the answer and music is healing
