Intro: Dm  Bb  F  C 

Dm 
Inglorious soldier I stand 'til the end 
                             Bb 
A golden revolver I hold in my hand 
The trigger that I never squeeze 
The war that brings me to my knees 
F 
I'm tired of fighting for peace 
                           C 
When I am alone on the front line 
I need you to stand next to me 

         Dm 
Baby, cease fire, fire, fire 
             Bb 
Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons 
         F 
I'm on your side, on your side, on your side 
             C 
So please cease fire, fire, fire 
                 Dm 
Cease fire, make it stop 

Dm 
Drop down your defenses, I'm raising my flag 
                                        Bb 
This fighting is hopeless, we need this to end 
It's going too far, don't know where it began 
                                      F 
We're hurting each other and I can't pretend 
I'm trying to help you to see 
                          C 
The casualties that we both leave 
It's all so unnecessary 
Can't you hear me scream 

         Dm 
Baby, cease fire, fire, fire (baby, cease fire) 
             Bb 
Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons  
(throw down your weapons) 
         F 
I'm on your side, on your side, on your side 
(I'm on your side) 
             C 
So please cease fire, fire, fire 
                 Dm 
Cease fire, make it stop 

( Dm   Bb   F   Am ) 

Dm 
Calling out, white flag, I surrender 
Hear me now, make it stop, we can do better 
Bb 
Pain and hurt, living in fear, wasted energy 
In the end, what is it worth, what is our legacy 
F 
Calling out, white flag, I surrender 
Hear me now, make it stop, we can do better 
C 
Pain and hurt, living in fear, wasted energy 
In the end, what is it worth, what is our legacy

Follow me now, I'm calling out, somebody help me 
I need you now, why can't you see, gotta believe me 
Bb 
Fighting for peace, need a release, won't you come with me 
F 
I'm on your side, swallow your pride, you can confide in me 
Army of one, rise with the sun, shining for all to see 
C 
Enemies none, victories won, no negativity 
We can be free, we have the key to own our destiny, yeah 

         Dm 
Baby, cease fire, fire, fire 
             Bb 
Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons  
(throw down your weapons) 
         F
