[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]
D
Someone said
C#7 F#m
Give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
D
While we're sitting
C#7 F#m
On the fence
A
Pretending,
D C#7 F#m
Our hearts are in the right place
F#m7
But, your face
B7
Shows a trace of
C7
Hypocrisy,
B7 C7
Don't tread on me,
B7 C7
Now you can see
[Chorus]
C A7
Make love not war,
D7 A7
Sounds so absurd, to me
We can't afford
D7 A7
To say these words, lightly
D5
Or else our world
C5 G/B
Will truly, rest in peace
[Verse 2]
D
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]
