Chords for Alicia Keys - Holy War Live 2016

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Very [F] important to drink [Am] in _ _ _ my cup for my voice [C] in case you ever think of something _ [Am] _ [G] else. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ I would _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [G] love to sing you this song [C] that is _ _ [Am] _ on my new album here, _ [C] _ _ _ _
[F] which is one important
[A] date you should know November 4th.
[D] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ [Am] It's important that we're here [A] because there's so much [C] going on, you know, around us, within us.
_ [Am] _ _ [A] _ _ In fact, right now [C] in Las [Am] Vegas, _ [F] a city [Am] rich from casino life, _ _ _ an orange man is [C] insulting
our first female candidate for president.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ And [G] trying to gamble with [C] our democracy, _
_ [F] gambling with [Am] the freedoms we fought so hard for.
_ _ _ [C] So, another important date [Am] is to make sure that you get out there on November [A] 8th and
[C] vote for love.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _ Because orange is [C] not the new black. _ _ _ _
[F] _ [Am] _ _ [G] This song is called Holy [C] War and I think [F] it's perfect [A] for right now.
I'd love to sing it for [Am] you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Yeah.
[C] _ _ [A] _ [G] _ _
[C] _ [F] _ _ [Am] Let me tell [C] ya, _
[A] if [C] war is holy [Am] and [Cm] sex is _ [Am] obscene, [G] then we got it twisted _
[A] _ in this [C] lucid [Am] dream.
[G] _
[C] Baptized in [F] boundaries, [Am] _ schooled in sin, _ [G] divided [C] by difference, [Am] _ sexuality and skin.
_ [G] Oh, so we [F] can hate each other, fear each other, [G] we can build these walls between each [Ab] other,
baby, blow by blow, brick by brick.
Keep [Am] yourself locked in, yourself locked in, yeah, [F] we can hate each other, fear each [G] other,
we can build these walls between each other, [Ab] baby, blow by blow, brick by brick.
[Am] Keep yourself locked in, yourself locked in.
Oh, [C] maybe we should love some, _ [F] _ _
_ [G] _ [Am] oh, [C] maybe we could care a little [F] more.
_ _ [G] _ So, _ [C]
maybe we could love [F] somebody _ [Am] _ [G] _
[Am] instead of [C] polishing the bombs of [F] holy war. _
[G] What if sex [C] was holy [Am] and war [C] was [F] obscene _ [C] and it wasn't twisted?
[Am] _
What a wonderful dream, _ [G] _
[C] living for _ [Am] love, unafraid of the end.
[G] Forgiveness [C] is the only [Am] _ _
real revenge.
_ [G] Oh, so we [F] can heal each other, feel each other, [G] we can break these walls between each [Ab] other,
baby, blow by blow, brick by brick.
Keep [Am] yourself open, yourself open, yeah, [F] we can heal each other, feel each [G] other,
we can break these walls between each other, baby, [Ab] blow by blow, brick by brick.
[Am] Keep yourself open, you're open.
So, [C] maybe we should love [F] somebody, [Am]
oh, [G] _ _ [Am] _ [C] maybe we could care a [F] _ _ _ [G] little [Am] more.
So, maybe [C] we should love [F] somebody _ [Am] _ [G] _
[Am] instead of [C] polishing the bombs of holy [F] war. _ _
[G] What if love [C] was holy [Am] and hate is obscene?
We should give life to this beautiful dream.
_ [G] Cause [C] peace and [Am] love _ ain't so far.
[G] If we nurse [C] our [Am] wounds before [C] they [Am] scar.
_ [G] _ Nurse our [Am] _
wounds before [C] they scar.
[Am] _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [G] Tell [C] you, baby, [Am] _ can you imagine? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Oh, [Am] holy, _ what if love was all? _
What if love was all? _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _
