[Verse 1]
C F Am If war is holy C F Am G And sex is obscene C F Am We've got it twisted C F Am G In this lucid dream C F Am Baptized in boundaries C F Am G Schooled in sin C F Am Divided by difference C F Am G Sexuality and skin
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F Oh, so we can hate each other and fear each other G We can build these walls between each other G#dim Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick Am Keep yourself locked in, yourself locked in F Yeah, we can hate each other and fear each other G We can build these walls between each other G#dim Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick Am Keep yourself locked in, yourself locked
[Chorus 1]
Am C F Am G Oh-oh, maybe we should love somebody Am C F Am G Oh-oh, maybe we could care a little more Am C F Am G So, maybe we should love somebody Am C F Am G Instead of, polishing the bombs of holy war
[Verse 2]
C F Am What if sex was holy C F Am G And war was obscene C F Am And it wasn't twisted C F Am G What a wonderful dream C F Am Living for love C F Am G Unafraid of the end C F Am Forgiveness is the only C F Am G Real revenge
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F Oh, so we can heal each other and fill each other G We can break these walls between each other G#dim Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick Am Keep yourself open, yourself open F Yeah, we can heal each other and fill each other G We can break these walls between each other G#dim Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick Am Keep yourself open, yourself open
[Chorus 2]
Am C F Am G So, maybe we should love somebody Am C F Am G Yeah, maybe we could care a little more Am C F Am G So, maybe we should love somebody Am C F Am G Instead of, polishing the bombs of holy war
[Verse 3]
C F Am What if love is holy C F Am G And hate obscene C F Am We should give life C F Am G To this beautiful dream C F Am Cause peace and love C F Am G Ain't so far C F Am If we nurse our wounds C F Am G Before they scar C F Am Nurse our wounds C F Am G Before they scar
