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
EmC
Peace on Earth
G
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Am
Whose sons are living in the ground
EmC
Peace on Earth
G
No who's or why's
Am
No one cries like a mother cries
EmC
For peace on Earth
G
She never got to say goodbye
Am
To see the color in his eyes
EmC
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
EmC
Peace on Earth
G
To tell the ones who hear no sound
Am
Whose sons are living in the ground
EmC
Peace on Earth
G
Jesus in the song you wrote
Am
The words are sticking in my throat
EmC
Peace on Earth
G
Hear it every Christmas time
Am
But hope and history won't rhyme
EmC
So what's it worth
This peace on Earth
G Peace on Earth
C Peace on Earth
G Peace on Earth
