Tom: Em

Em  C  G  Am

[Verse 1: Luke]
Em        C
How do we save a life
G         Am
Pointing fingers?
Em         C
How can we end the fight
D        Am
This way?
     Em                       C
When blame is the truth we're preaching?
      G                    Am
And lies are what we're believing?
Em           C
No one ever wins
          G                      Am
When the goal is to settle the score

[Chorus: Joel]
       Em
One by one we will call for a ceasefire
       D
One by one we will fight for a better end
       C
One by one we could rewrite the headlines
  Am             Bm
Standing side by side
       Em
One by one, love is building an empire
       D
One by one, reaching out to our enemies
       C
One by one we will make it to the finish line
  Am             Bm
Standing side by side
      Em
Ceasefire

[Verse 2: Luke]
Em                 C
I will be the first to say
    G        Am
I'm far from perfect
      Em                 C
But grace was made for those who don't
  G      Am
Deserve it
   Em               C
So easy to cast the first stone
     G                     Am
It's harder to search your own soul
Em           C
No one ever wins
          G                      Am
When the goal is to settle the score

[Chorus: Joel]
       Em
One by one we will call for a ceasefire
       D
One by one we will fight for a better end
       C
One by one we could rewrite the headlines
  Am             Bm
Standing side by side
       Em
One by one, love is building an empire
       D
One by one, reaching out to our enemies
       C
One by one we will make it to the finish line
  Am             Bm
Standing side by side
      Em
Ceasefire

[Bridge: Luke]
Em              C
Teach us how to live humbly
G         Am
Love unconditionally
Em            C          G
Transform our hurt into hope
                  Am
And grant us Your peace

Em              C
Teach us how to live humbly
G         Am
Love unconditionally
Em            C          G
Transform our hurt into hope
                  Am
And grant us Your peace

[Chorus: Joel]
       Em
One by one we will call for a ceasefire

One by one we will fight for a better end
       C
One by one we could rewrite the headlines
  Am             Bm
Standing side by side
       Em
One by one, love is building an empire
       D
One by one, reaching out to our enemies
       C
One by one we will make it to the finish line
