After the War Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
So [Am]many came before you,
The prisoners of fate.
A [G]history of bloodshed,
A legacy of hate.
But where will you be standing
When the [F]battles have been won?
In[Dm]side your lonely fortress
[D]The [Em]battles just be[F]gun[G].
[Am]After the [C]war,
[G]Who will you be [F]fighting for?
[Am]After the [C]war is [F]over[G].
[Am]After the [C]fire
Is [G]burning to its [F]dying em[Dm]bers.[Am]
After the war.
A letter from the draft board
Put pain to all your dreams.
You're just an[C]other [G]number
In military schemes.
They marched you in a uniform
You [F]wore against your will.
[Dm]With lies of hope and glory,
[D]The[Em]y taught you how to kil[F]l.[G]
[Am]After the [C]war,
[G]Who will you be [F]fighting for?
[Am]After the [C]war is [F]over[G].
[Am]After the [C]fire
Is [G]burning to its [F]dying em[Dm]bers.[Em][Am]
[F]After the war,
You thought you'd be a [Am]hero,[F]
After all that you [Am]sur v[F]ived.
If hell was meant for [Am]heroes,[C]
Then [D]surely you've arrived.
[Esus4]Ah.
[E]After[Am]
[Dm][Am][G][C][G]
[F]
[Dm][E][F][G][Am]
the war,
After the [Dm]war.[D]
[Am]After the [C]war,
[G]Who will you be [F]fighting for?
[Am]After the [C]war,
[G]Who will you be [F]fighting [Dm]for?[Am]
After the [C]fire
Is [G]burning to its [F]dying [Am]ember[C] s.[G]
[F]After the war.
