[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]
Oh-oh, maybe we should love somebody
Oh-oh, maybe we could care a little more
So, maybe we should love somebody
Instead of polishing the bombs of holy war
[Verse 2]
C F Am
What if sex was holy
C F Am G
And war was obscene
C F Am
And it wasn't twisted
C F Am G
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]
Oh, so we can heal each other and fill each other
We can break these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself open, yourself open
Yeah, we can heal each other and fill each other
We can break these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself open, yourself open
[Chorus 2]
Maybe we should love somebody
Maybe we could care a little more
Maybe we could love somebody, instead of
Polishing the bombs of holy war
[Verse 3]
C F Am
What if love is holy
C F Am G
And hate obscene
C F Am
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
[Outro]
C F Am
C F Am G
Hmm, hmm, hmm
C F Am
Hmm, hmm, hmm
C F Am G
Hmm, hmm, hmm
