[Verse 1]

     C majorC  FF A minorAm
If war is holy
       C majorC   FF A minorAm G+G
And sex is obscene
       C majorC    FF A minorAm
We’ve got it twisted
       C majorC   FF A minorAm G+G
In this lucid dream
      C majorC     FF A minorAm
Baptized in boundaries
      C majorC  FF A minorAm G+G
Schooled in sin
      C majorC     FF A minorAm
Divided by difference
       C majorC  FF A minorAm G+G
Sexuality and skin


[Pre-Chorus 1]

       FF
Oh, so we can hate each other and fear each other
    G+G
We can build these walls between each other
   G/G#
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
     A minorAm
Keep yourself locked in, yourself locked in


       FF
Yeah, we can hate each other and fear each other
    G+G
We can build these walls between each other
   G/G#
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
     A minorAm
Keep yourself locked in, yourself locked

[Chorus 1]

   A minorAm   C majorC            FF A minorAm G+G
Oh-oh, maybe we should love somebody
   A minorAm   C majorC              FF A minorAm G+G
Oh-oh, maybe we could care a little more
 A minorAm   C majorC            FF A minorAm G+G
So, maybe we should love somebody
     A minorAm  C majorC              FF A minorAm G+G
Instead of, polishing the bombs of holy war


[Verse 2]

        C majorC  FF A minorAm
What if sex was holy
       C majorC   FF A minorAm G+G
And war was obscene
       C majorC    FF A minorAm
And it wasn't twisted
         C majorC   FF A minorAm G+G
What a wonderful dream
      C majorC  FF A minorAm
Living for love
        C majorC  FF A minorAm G+G
Unafraid of the end
          C majorC  FF A minorAm
Forgiveness is the only
    C majorC   FF A minorAm G+G
Real revenge


[Pre-Chorus 2]

       FF
Oh, so we can heal each other and fill each other
    G+G
We can break these walls between each other
   G/G#
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
     A minorAm
Keep yourself open, yourself open


       FF
Yeah, we can heal each other and fill each other
    G+G
We can break these walls between each other
   G/G#
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
     A minorAm
Keep yourself open, yourself open


[Chorus 2]

 A minorAm   C majorC            FF A minorAm G+G
So, maybe we should love somebody
  A minorAm   C majorC              FF A minorAm G+G
Yeah, maybe we could care a little more
 A minorAm   C majorC            FF A minorAm G+G
So, maybe we should love somebody
     A minorAm  C majorC              FF A minorAm G+G
Instead of, polishing the bombs of holy war


[Verse 3]

        C majorC  FF A minorAm
What if love is holy
      C majorC   FF A minorAm G+G
And hate obscene
        C majorC  FF A minorAm
We should give life
         C majorC   FF A minorAm G+G
To this beautiful dream
        C majorC  FF A minorAm
Cause peace and love
     C majorC  FF A minorAm G+G
Ain't so far
        C majorC   FF A minorAm
If we nurse our wounds
      C majorC  FF A minorAm G+G
Before they scar
     C majorC   FF A minorAm
Nurse our wounds
      C majorC  FF A minorAm G+G
Before they scar


[Outro]

C majorC  FF  A minorAm
C majorC  FF  A minorAm  G+G
Hmm, hmm, hmm

C majorC  FF  A minorAm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
C majorC  FF  A minorAm  G+G
Hmm, hmm, hmm

C majorC  FF  A minorAm
C majorC  FF  A minorAm
