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
Ami                  
I’m sick of hearing
D                
Again and again
             Ami       
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
Ami                       
And you become a monster
D                                  
So the monster will not break you

    Ami                        
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
   Ami                          
To throw a drowning man a line
Emi      C      
Peace on Earth

G                                
Tell the ones who hear no sound
      Ami                               
Whose sons are living in the ground   
Emi      C      
Peace on Earth

G                  
No who’s or why’s
Ami                               
No one cries like a mother cries
    Emi             
For peace on Earth

    G                         
She never got to say goodbye
   Ami                        
To see the color in his eyes
         Emi          
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

Ami             
Sean and Julia

D                         
Gareth, Anne, and Breeda
Ami                          
Their lives are bigger than
D             
Any big idea

G                            
Jesus can you take the time
   Ami                          
To throw a drowning man a line
Emi      C      
Peace on Earth

To tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth

Jesus in the song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth

Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won’t rhyme
So what’s it worth

This peace on Earth
G                
 Peace on Earth
C                
 Peace on Earth
G                
 Peace on Earth
