G
In the still of the night

G            Em
Lying in the darkness

Em             C
I listen to my heart

C            G


[Verse]
[tab]G
In the dark and the quiet

G                   Em
The movements of my love

Em                       C
And the breathing of our children

C            G
Say it isn't true
[Break] G Em C G [Verse]
G
In the streets and the buildings

G                   Em
The people in their lives

Em                         C
And the jobs they do for a living

C            G
Say it isn't true
[Verse]
G
And when you think of all the people

G                    Em
In the cities of the world

Em                    C
Who could vanish in a moment

C            G
Say it isn't true
[Chorus]
G            Bm
Say it isn't true (That there always has been and always will be war)

Bm           Em
Say it isn't true (And apart from all the fine things that men have struggled for)

Em           Bm
Say it isn't true (There always has been and always will be war)

Bm           Em  F C G
Say it isn't true
[Break] G Em C G [Verse]
G
I'm alive in a city

G                   Em
In a country of the world

Em                  C
And I want to go on living

C                       G
I want to see my life unfurled
[Verse]
G
You know it's hard to go on looking

G                     Em
At the stories of our day

Em                        C
And the dangers we're all facing

C                      G
Growing worse in every way
[Verse]
G
And you would think with all of the genius

G                           Em
And the brilliance of these times

Em                     C
We might find a higher purpose

C                   G
And a better use of mind
[Chorus]
G            Bm
Say it isn't true (That there always has been and always will be war)

Bm           Em
Say it isn't true (And apart from all the fine things that men have struggled for)

Em           Bm
Say it isn't true (There always has been and always will be war)

Bm           Em  F C G
Say it isn't true
[Outro]
G        Em7
Say it...

C              G Em C G
Say it isn't...
