Peace on Earth

G
 Heaven on Earth
C
  We need it now
G
  I'm sick of all of this
C
  Hanging around
G
  Sick of sorrow
C
  I'm sick of the pain
Am
  I'm sick of hearing
D
  Again and again


[Chorus]
              C
That there's gonna be
G
Peace on Earth


[Verse 2]
G
  Where I grew up
C
  There weren't many trees
G
  Where there was, we'd tear them down
    C
And use them on our enemies
G
  They say that what you mock
C
  Will surely overtake you
Am
  And you become a monster
D
  So the monster will not break you


[Pre-Chorus]
    Am
And it's already gone too far
    Am
You said that if you go in hard
    G
You won't get hurt


[Chorus]
G
Jesus can you take the time
    Bm
To throw a drowning man a line
C              Am
Peace on Earth
G
Tell the ones who hear no sound
      Em
Whose sons are living in the ground
Bm             C
Peace on Earth

   G
No who's or why's, no one cries
Bm
Like a mother cries
    C              Am
For peace on Earth
    G
She never got to say goodbye
   Em
To see the color in his eyes
         Bm          C
Now he's in the dirt
G              G  C  C
Peace on Earth


[Verse 3]
G
  They're reading names out
C
  Over the radio
G
  All the folks the rest of us
C
  Won't get to know


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
  Sean and Julia
D
  Gareth, Anne, and Breeda
Am
  Their lives are bigger than
G       D
  Any big idea


[Chorus]
G
Jesus can you take the time
   Bm
To throw a drowning man a line
C              Am
Peace on Earth
G
Tell the ones who hear no sound
      Em
Whose sons are living in the ground
Bm              C
Peace on Earth
G
Jesus in the song you wrote
    Bm
The words are sticking in my throat
C              Am
Peace on Earth
G
Hear it every Christmas time
    Em
But hope and history won't rhyme
   Bm              C
So what's it worth
     G              G
This peace on Earth
C               C
Peace on Earth
G               G
Peace on Earth
C              C    G
Peace on Earth
