[Verse 1]
       E     G# C#       A E B
In our world
E      G#    C#          A E B
We got five billion
E        G#     C#       A E B
And some might say
E           G#  C#       A E B
Conflict is unavoidable
E   G# C#                A E B
But I think we got choices
E      G#   C#
And so I'll say
A     E            B
Everything will be alright
A     E            B
Everything will be alright
A E/G#  F#          E/G# A
Everything will be alright

[Chorus]
               B                                 A                                 E
Don't you know, it's just a simple choice we can choose to get along with each other
      B
Or go down, down, down, down
B                                         A                                          E
Bow down to our hate and ours fears, bow down, bow down to our fists and our guns, bow down
                               B
But I think we know what that gets us
               B
Don't you know, violence is suicide
         A
Don't you know, violence is suicide
         E                      B
Don't you know, violence is suicide

[Bridge]
A      E       B                 E
In the name of love lay down your pride and your ego
A      E       B                 E
In the name of love lay down your gangs and your guns
A      E       B                 E
In the name of love lay down your law and your order
A      E       B                 E
In the name of love lay down your countries, your borders
A      E       B                 E
In the name of love lay down your sword and shield
A    E/G#  F# E/G#  A
Down by the river side

And so I say
E           G#  C#    A E B
Conflict is insanity
E   G# C#             A E B
And I know we got choices
