Verse 1
[Fig.2]Don't let your mind get weary and confused
Your will be still, don't [Dmaj7]try
[Fig.2]Don't let your heart get heavy child
Inside you there's a strength that lies[Dmaj7][C]lies

[Fig.1]

Verse 2
[Fig.2]Don't let your soul get lonely child
It's only time, it will go [Dmaj7]by
[Fig.2]Don't look for love in faces, places
It's in you, that's where you'll [Dmaj7]find[C]kindness

Chorus
[E]Be, [C]Be here [Dsus2/A]now, Be here [C]now
[E]Be, [C]Be here [Dsus2/A]now, Be here [C]now

[Fig.1]*
[Fig.2]* [Dmaj7 (4 meas.)]
[Fig.2]* [Dmaj7 (2 meas.)]  [C (2 meas.)]

Verse 3
[Fig.2]Don't lose your faith in me
And I will try not to lose faith in [Dmaj7]you
[Fig.2]Don't put your trust in walls
'Cause walls will only crush you when they [Dmaj7]fall [C]

Chorus

[Fig.2]* [Dmaj7 (2 meas.)]  [C (4 meas.)]
[Fig.1]  [E]

Note: On the Dsus2/A chord, it's hard for me to hear exactly what the
guitar is playing.  This chord may be closer to what the strings are playing at the time.
