[Verse]
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]
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]
C
And it's already gone too far
C
You said that if you go in hard
G
You won't get hurt
[Chorus]
G
Jesus can you take the time
D
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
D
No one cries 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 C
Peace on Earth
[Verse]
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
D
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
D
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
This peace on Earth
C
Peace on Earth
G
Peace on Earth
C G
Peace on Earth
