[Verse 1]
B
Let's talk of peace,
Sounds so cliche
B novelty,
Catch phrase of the day
Middle, index,
Sign of the time
Just as complex,
As water to
[Pre-Chorus]
B
Someone said
A#7 D#m
Give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
B
While we're sitting
A#7 D#m
On the fence

Pretending,
B A#7 D#m
Our hearts are in the right place
D#m7
But, your face
G#7
Shows a trace of

Hypocrisy,
G#7 A7
Don't tread on me,
G#7 A7
Now you can see
[Chorus]
A F#7
Make love not war,
B7 F#7
Sounds so absurd, to me
We can't afford
B7 F#7
To say these words, lightly

Or else our world
A5 E/G#
Will truly, rest in peace
[Verse 2]
B
Let's not pretend,
To justify
Rather amend,
Where treasures lie
Straight through the heart,
Peace can be found
That's where you start,
Not all around
[Pre-Chorus]
