[Verse 1]
A
Let's talk of peace,
Sounds so cliche
A novelty,
Catch phrase of the day
Middle, index,
Sign of the time
Just as complex,
As water to
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Someone said
G#7 C#m
Give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
A
While we're sitting
G#7 C#m
On the fence
E
Pretending,
A G#7 C#m
Our hearts are in the right place
C#m7
But, your face
F#7
Shows a trace of
G7
Hypocrisy,
F#7 G7
Don't tread on me,
F#7 G7
Now you can see
[Chorus]
G E7
Make love not war,
A7 E7
Sounds so absurd, to me
We can't afford
A7 E7
To say these words, lightly
A5
Or else our world
G5 D/F#
Will truly, rest in peace
[Verse 2]
A
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]
A
Someone said
