[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
E7 Am
Give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
F
While we're sitting
E7 Am
On the fence
C
Pretending,
F E7 Am
Our hearts are in the right place
Am7
But, your face

Shows a trace of
D#7
Hypocrisy,
D7 D#7
Don't tread on me,
D7 D#7
Now you can see
[Chorus]
D# C7
Make love not war,
F7 C7
Sounds so absurd, to me
We can't afford
F7 C7
To say these words, lightly
F5
Or else our world
D#5 A#/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]
