Em                           D                                
Sunday morning, I heard the preacher say
C                                                              
Thou shall not kill
C                  D                   C                  
I don't wanna hear nothing else about killing
                                                              
And that it's God's will

Em                     D                                   
'Cause our children are watching us
               C                                                
They put their trust in us

They're gonna be like us
Em                      D                                     
So let's learn from our history
          C                                                    
And do it differently


[Chorus]
 G                                                             
I hope

For more love, more joy and laughter

I hope

We'll have more than we'll ever need
  C                                                             
I hope

We'll have more happy ever afters
  G                                                            
I hope

We can all live more fearlessly
           D            C           G                      
And we can lose all the pain and misery

I hope

I hope


[Verse 2]
Em                D                                          
Oh Rosie, her man he gets too rough
C                                                              
That's all she can say,
 Em                                                             
Is he's a good man
         D                                                     
He don't mean no harm
       C                                                       
He was just brought up that way

Em                   D                                      
But our children are watching us
                C                                              
They put their trust in us
                                                              
They're gonna be like us
Em                  D                                       
It's okay for us to disagree
       C                                                      
We can work it out lovingly


[Chorus]
 G                                                             
I hope

For more love, more joy and laughter

I hope

We'll have more than we'll ever need
  C                                                             
I hope

We'll have more happy ever afters
  G                                                            
I hope

We can all live more fearlessly
           D            C           G                      
And we can lose all the pain and misery

I hope

I hope


[Bridge]
G               Em     C                                  
There must be a way to change what's going on
G               Em      C                                  
No I don't have all the answers


[Chorus]
  G                                                           
I hope                                                              
                                                              
For more love, more joy and laughter                                                              
                                                              
I hope
                                                              
We'll have more than we'll ever need
  C                                                            
I hope
                                                              
We'll have more happy ever afters
  G                                                            
I hope
                                                              
We can all live more fearlessly
           D            C           G                     
And we can lose all the pain and misery
