[Intro]
C Am Em G
[Verse 1]
C
Ladies and gentlemen
Am                       Em                         G
Standing before you with something important to say
C                       Em
With some trepidation I crave your attention but
Am                G                  C
I'm not gonna let anything get in my way
C                      Em
The message is simple, it's straight from my heart
Am                     G
And I know that you've heard it before
C                              Em
But what does it matter, we're in it together
    Am                     G
And I'm not quitting while people are crying for more
[Chorus]
C           G/C
People want peace
C           F
People want peace
C         G/C               F
A simple release from their suffering
F           C
People want peace

[Verse 2]
Cm                    F/C
Nothing in life is as sad as the lonely, so
Cm            F/C
Searching for peace
Cm           F/C
Only to find disappointment is waiting
Dm/G                       G
Behind every door that we open
Dm/G            G
Every catch, we release
C                         Am
A-brothers and sisters, I beg you to listen
  Em                     G
I know that it isn't too late
   C                      Am
For we as the people, the voices of freedom
    Em                  G7                        C
And we're all perfectly clear that we don't wanna wait
[Chorus]
C           G/C
People want peace
Am          F
People want peace
C        G/C                F
