[Verse 1]
E
Let's talk of peace,
Sounds so cliche
E novelty,
Catch phrase of the day
Middle, index,
Sign of the time
Just as complex,
As water to
[Pre-Chorus]
E
Someone said
D#7 G#m
Give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
E
While we're sitting
D#7 G#m
On the fence
B
Pretending,
E D#7 G#m
Our hearts are in the right place
G#m7
But, your face
C#7
Shows a trace of
D7
Hypocrisy,
C#7 D7
Don't tread on me,
C#7 D7
Now you can see
[Chorus]
D B7
Make love not war,
E7 B7
Sounds so absurd, to me
We can't afford
E7 B7
To say these words, lightly
E5
Or else our world
D5 A/C#
Will truly, rest in peace
[Verse 2]
E
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]
