[Verse 1]~
         C    F  Am
If war is holy

            C     F  Am  G
And sex is obscene

            C       F  Am
We’ve got it twisted

             C     F  Am  G
In this lucid dream

           C          F  Am
Baptized in boundaries

           C   F  Am  G
Schooled in sin

          C          F  Am
Divided by difference

             C    F  Am  G
Sexuality and skin


[Pre-Chorus 1]~
             F
Oh,.. so we can hate each other and fear each other

      G
We can build these walls between each other

     G/G#
Baby,.. blow by blow and brick by brick

        Am
Keep yourself locked in,.. yourself locked in


            F
Yeah,.. we can hate each other and fear each other

      G
We can build these walls between each other

     G/G#
Baby,.. blow by blow and brick by brick

        Am
Keep yourself locked in,.. yourself locked


[Chorus 1]~
    Am      C                       F  Am  G
Oh-oh,.. maybe we should love somebody

    Am      C                           F  Am  G
Oh-oh,.. maybe we could care a little more

Am      C                       F  Am  G
So,.. maybe we should love somebody

         Am    C                           F  Am  G
Instead of,.. polishing the bombs of holy war


[Verse 2]~

What if sex was holy

             C     F  Am  G
And war was obscene

             C       F  Am
And it wasn't twisted

What a wonderful dream

          C    F  Am
Living for love

               C   F  Am  G
Unafraid of the end

                  C    F  Am
Forgiveness is the only

      C     F  Am  G
Real revenge


[Pre-Chorus 2]~
             F
Oh,.. so we can heal each other and fill each other

      G
We can break these walls between each other

Baby,.. blow by blow and brick by brick

        Am
Keep yourself open,.. yourself open


            F
Yeah,.. we can heal each other and fill each other

      G
We can break these walls between each other

Baby,.. blow by blow and brick by brick

        Am
Keep yourself open,.. yourself open

We should give life

                 C     F  Am  G
To this beautiful dream

               C    F  Am
Cause peace and love

        C   F  Am  G
Ain't so far

               C      F  Am
If we nurse our wounds

           C    F  Am  G
Before they scar

         C      F  Am
Nurse our wounds

           C    F  Am  G
Before they scar
