[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
I'm hearing images, I'm seeing songs
No poet has ever painted
Voices call out to me, straight to my heart
So strange yet we're so well acquainted
I let the music speak, with no restraints
I let my feelings take over
Carry my soul away into the world
Where beauty meets the darkness of the day
Where my mind is like an open window
Where the high and healing winds blow
From my shallow sleep the sounds awake me
I let them take me
(Let them wake me, let them now, let them take me)
Let it be a joke
Let it be a smile
Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while
Let it be a tear
Let it be a sigh
Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry
Some streets are emptiness, dry leaves of autumn
Rustling down an old alley
And in the dead of night I find myself
A blind man in some ancient valley
I let the music speak, leading me gently
Urging me like a lover
Leading me all the way
Into a place
Where beauty will defeat the darkest day
Where I'm one with every grand illusion
No disturbance, no intrusion
Where I let the wistful sounds seduce me
I let them use me
(All illusion, no disturbance, no intrusion)
Let it be a joke
Let it be a smile
Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while
Let it be a tear
Let it be a sigh
Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry
Let it be a tear
Let it be a sigh
Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry
Let it be the joy of each new sunrise
Or the moment when a day dies
I surrender without reservation
No explanations
No questions why
I take it to me and let it flow through me
Yes, I let the music speak
I let the music speak
