All verses pretty much identical
(int) Am F
And I don't want to know about evil
G Am
Only want to know about love
(int) Am F
I don't want to know about evil
G A
Only want to know about love.
Sometimes it gets so hard to listen
Hard for me to use my eyes
And all around the cold is glistening
Making sure it keeps me down to size.
And I don't want to know about evil
Only want to know about love
I don't want to know one thing about evil
Only want to know about love.
I'm waiting for the planes to tumble
Waiting for the towns to fall
I'm waiting for the cities to crumble
Waiting till I see you crawl.
Yes it's getting hard to listen
Hard for us to use our eyes
Cause all around that gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps us hypnotized.
And I don't want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
I don't want to know about evil
Only want to know about love.
I don't want to know anything about evil
Only want to know about love
I don't want to know about evil
Only want to know about love.
