[Verse 1]
D#
Let's talk of peace,
Sounds so cliche
D# novelty,
Catch phrase of the day
Middle, index,
Sign of the time
Just as complex,
As water to
[Pre-Chorus]

Someone said
D7 Gm
Give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying

Hypocrisy,
C7 C#7
Don't tread on me,
C7 C#7

Will truly, rest in peace

Rather amend,
Where treasures lie
Straight through the heart,
Peace can be found
That's where you start,
Not all around
