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
Give [G#7]peace a [C#m]chance
And, that's all that we're saying
[A]While we're sitting
[G#7]On the [C#m]fence
[E]Pretending,
[A]Our hearts are in [G#7]the right [C#m]place
But, your [C#m7]face
Shows a [F#7]trace of
Hypocrisy,[G7]
[F#7]Don't tread on me,[G7]
[F#7]Now you can see[G7]
Chorus
[G]Make [E7]love not war,
Sounds [A7]so absurd, to [E7]me
We can't afford
To [A7]say these words, [E7]lightly
Or [A5]else our world
Will [G5]truly, rest in [D/F#]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
Give [G#7]peace a [C#m]chance
And, that's all that we're saying
[A]While we're sitting
[G#7]On the [C#m]fence
[E]Pretending,
[A]Our hearts are in [G#7]the right [C#m]place
But, your [C#m7]face
Shows a [F#7]trace of
Hypocrisy,[G7]
[F#7]Don't tread on me,[G7]
[F#7]Now you can see[G7]
Chorus
[G]Make [E7]love not war,
Sounds [A7]so absurd, to [E7]me

To [A7]say these words, [E7]lightly
