[Intro]
A2
[Verse 1]
A2 A2/G F#dim E
I’m hearing images, I’m seeing songs
A2 Am Am+ Am
No poet has ever painted
Dm Dm/C E/B Bb7
Voices call out to me, straight to my heart
Dm Dm/C Ebdim E
So strange, yet we’re so well acquainted
A2 A2/G F#dim E
I let the music speak, with no restraints
A2 Am Am+ Am
I let my feelings take over
Dm Dm/C E/B Bb7
Carry my soul away into the world
Dm Dm/C Ebdim E Am Am7
Where beauty meets the darkness of the day
[Pre-Chorus]
G C
Where my mind is like an open window
G E E/B E/G# Am
Where the high and healing winds blow
G C
From my shallow sleep, the sounds awake me
Bb Bb/F
I let them take me
Bb11+
(Let them wake me, let them now, let them take me)
Am E4 E
[Chorus]
Am Am+ Am
Let it be a joke, let it be a smile
Am Am/G F E Am
Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while
Am Am+ Am
Let it be a tear, let it be a sigh
Am Am/G F A Am
Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry
[Interlude]
Am A2 Am x2 F#dim E4 E
[Verse 2]
A2 A2/G F#dim E
Some streets are emptiness, dry leaves of autumn
A2 Am Am+ Am
Rustling down an old alley
Dm Dm/C E/B Bb7
And in the dead of night, I find myself
Dm Dm/C Ebdim E
A blind man in some ancient valley
A2 A2/G F#dim E
I let the music speak, leading me gently
A2 Am Am+ Am
Urging me like a lover
Dm Dm/C E/B Bb7
Leading me all the way into a place
Dm Dm/C Ebdim E Am Am7
Where beauty will defeat the darkest day
[Pre-Chorus]
G C
Where I’m one with every grand illusion
G E E/B E/G# Am
No disturbance, no intrusion
G C
Where I let the wistful sounds seduce me
Bb Bb/F
I let them use me
Bb11
(All illusion, no disturbance, no intrusion)
Am E4 E
[Chorus]
Am Am+ Am
Let it be a joke, let it be a smile
Am Am/G F E Am
Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while
Am Am+ Am
Let it be a tear, let it be a sigh
Am Am/G F E Am Am7
Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry
[Interlude]
Am A2 Am x2 F#dim E4 E
[Chorus]
Am Am+ Am
Let it be a tear, let it be a sigh
Am Am/G F E Am Am7
Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry
[Outro]
G C
Let it be the joy of each new sunrise
G E/G# E Am
Or the moment when the day dies
G C
I surrender without reservation
C7/Bb
No explanations
F9/A F/A
No questions why
Dm A/D Dm7 E7
I take it to me and let it flow through me
Dm C
Yes, I let the music speak
F G G4 C
I let the music speak
