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 Am That there's gonna be G Peace on Earth 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 Am And it's already gone too far You said that if you go in hard G You won't get hurt G Jesus can you take the time Am To throw a drowning man a line Em C Peace on Earth G Tell the ones who hear no sound Am Whose sons are living in the ground Em C Peace on Earth G No who's or why's Am No one cries like a mother cries Em C For peace on Earth G She never got to say goodbye Am To see the color in his eyes Em C Now he's in the dirt G Peace on Earth G They're reading names out C Over the radio G All the folks the rest of us C Won't get to know Am Sean and Julia D Gareth, Anne, and Breeda Am Their lives are bigger than D Any big idea G Jesus can you take the time Am To throw a drowning man a line Em C Peace on Earth G To tell the ones who hear no sound Am Whose sons are living in the ground Em C Peace on Earth G Jesus in the song you wrote Am The words are sticking in my throat Em C Peace on Earth G Hear it every Christmas time Am But hope and history won't rhyme Em C So what's it worth This peace on Earth G Peace on Earth C Peace on Earth G Peace on Earth
