Tom: Am

              Am                 Am              Em             G
We don’t need swords, don’t need knives, need no bullets and no fire
           Am              Am           Em                      G
Don’t need guns don’t need pride and no weapons to take on this fight
               F                 Am
Just need each other, don’t know how
                  F                  G
Come hell or high water, the time is now


[Bridge]
     C   G             F        G
Only love can save the world, ohhh
         C          G               F
It takes courage to love despite it all


[Chorus]
            Am     F
The time is now
                C    Em
And we’re ready now
                  Am     F
Cause the time is now
               C      G
And we will survive

              F             Am             C             G
Because we’re sisters we’re fighters we’re riders of the soul
        Am F            C      G            Am
Time is now and we will survive the time is now


[Verse]
             Am                 Am             Em          G
We’ve made a choice, to pay the price, for our freedom, we unite
        Am            Am            Em                 G
Against evil, against crime, we are ready for anything now
            F                Am
We got each other, no matter what
         F                 G
It takes courage, ready or not


[Bridge]
     C   G             F        G
Only love can save the world
         C          G               F
It takes courage to love despite it all


[Chorus]
            Am     F
The time is now
                C    Em
And we’re ready now
                  Am     F
Cause The time is now
               C      G
And we will survive
              F             Am             C             G
Because we’re sisters we’re fighters we’re riders of the soul
        Am F            C      G            Am
Time is now and we will survive the time is now
