C                   Am         C  G
    I'm living with war every day,
C                   Am          F          G
    I'm living with war in my heart every day,
C                  Am          F  G
    I'm living with war right now.

C                              G
    And when the dawn breaks          I see my fellow man,
C                             G              F        C
    and on the flat-screen we kill and we're killed again.
                                G               C
    And when the night falls,       I pray for peace,
              G      F
    try to remember peace.

C                           G
    I join the multitudes,       I raise my hand in peace,
C                       G            F       C
    I never bow to the laws of the thought police.
                        G                     C
    I take a holy vow         to never kill again,
              G     F
    to never kill again.

C                   Am          F   G
    I'm living with war in my heart,
C                   Am         F           G
    I'm living with war in my heart and my mind,
C                   Am         F  G
    I'm living with war right now.

C                               G
    Don't take no tidal wave,         don't take no mass grave,
C                                  G           F        C
    don't take no smokin' gun to show how the West was won.

                                  G               C
    But when the curtain falls,       I pray for peace,
              G      F
    try to remember peace.

C                              G
    In the crowded streets,          in the big hotels,
C                           G           F      C
    in the mosques and the doors of the old museum,
                        G                    C
    I take a holy vow        to never kill again,
              G       F   C G C
    try to remember peace.

F                                             C
    The rocket's red glare, bombs bursting in air,
F                                                          C
    give proof through the night, that our flag is still there.
