[Verse 1]
F#
Let's talk of peace,
Sounds so cliche
F# novelty,
Catch phrase of the day
Middle, index,
Sign of the time
Just as complex,
As water to
[Pre-Chorus]
F#
Someone said
F7 A#m
Give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
F#
While we're sitting
F7 A#m
On the fence
C#
Pretending,
F# F7 A#m
Our hearts are in the right place
A#m7
But, your face
D#7
Shows a trace of
E7
Hypocrisy,
D#7 E7
Don't tread on me,
D#7 E7
Now you can see
[Chorus]
E C#7
Make love not war,
F#7 C#7
Sounds so absurd, to me
We can't afford
F#7 C#7
To say these words, lightly
F#5
Or else our world
E5 B/D#
Will truly, rest in peace
[Verse 2]
F#
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]
