             D
It’s in the eyes of the children
         Bm
As they leave for the very first time
                 A
And it’s in the heart of the soldier
       Em
As he takes a bullet on the front line
             D
It’s in the face of a mother
        Bm
As she takes the force of a blow
                A
And its in the hands of the father yeah
       Em
As he works his fingers to the bone yeah

     Bm                D
I’m standing under a white flag oh
         D                  A
Can you see me oh, can you see me oh
     Bm                      D
I’m standing for everything we have oh

Can you hear me oh, can you hear me

Chorus:
                D
This is why we do it this is worth the pain
               Bm
This is why we bow down and get back up again
                   A
This is where the heart lies, this is from above

It's in the soul of a city
What it does after it crumbles and burns
And it's in the blood of a hero
To know where he goes,he may never return (yeah)

I'm standing under a white flag, oh
Can you see me? (oh)
Can you see me? (oh)
I'm standing for everything we have, oh
Can you hear me? (oh)
Can you hear me?

This is love
This is love
This is love
This is love
This is love
This is love
This is love
This is love
(Whoa yeah)

Bm
If you could be
Anywhere that you wanted be
A
With anyone that you wanted to be with
Em
Doing anything that you wanted to do
F#m
What would it be, man,
and who would it be with you?
Bm
Time flies but you're the pilot
A
It moves real fast but you're the driver
         Em
It may crash and burn sometimes

Chorus:
This is why we do it
This is worth the pain
This is why we fall down and get back up again
This is where the heart lies
This is from above
Love is this
This is love
Love is why we do it
Love is worth the pain
Love is why we fall down and get back up again
Love is where the heart lies
Love is from above
Love is this
This is love

This is love
