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 )
