The War is Over Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
When I was a young [Em]man,
I never needed anyone
Bruised and broken, shattered,
always on the [C]run
Safe behind a half-smile,
[B]layin' in in the [Em]shadows
I became a rich man,
I held the world up with my hands
Inside I was a poor man, still screaming,
"I don't understand"
[C]"Why am I always run[B]ning?"
"Why am I always [C]hiding?"
"What's the point in [B]living
when living feels like dying?"
You [Em]can build your

[Verse 2]
walls,
love will tear it down
You can hide your heart inside
a man-made house
house
You can build your [C]walls,
build 'em to [B]the sky
One day you [C]will find love
was on both [B]sides
The war [Em]is over

[Verse 3]
I came upon a wise [Em]man, he said,
"Sit beside me son"
"When I was a young man,
I was like you, the prodigal son"
[C]Safe behind a half-smile,
[B]hidin' in in the [C]shadows
Tell 'em that it's all right,
[B]tell 'em 'cause you said so
You [Em]can build your

[Verse 4]
walls,
love will tear it down
You can hide a heart inside
a man-made house
house
You can build your [C]walls,
build 'em to [B]the sky
One day you [C]will find love
was on both [B]sides

[Verse 5]
[Em]The war is over, love's already won
[C]The war is [B]over, the war is ove[Em]r
The war is over, love's already won
[C]The war is ove[B]r, the war is over

[Verse 6]
[C]Time [Am]stand[C]s still so l[Am]ong
[B]I feel so l[Em]ow
[C]I k[Am]now w[C]hat follows[Am], what follows[B]

[Verse 7]
You can build your [Em]walls,
but love will tear it down
You can hide a heart inside
a man-made house
house
You can build your [C]walls,
build 'em to the [B]sky
One day you [C]will find love
was on both [B]sides

[Verse 8]
[Em]The war is over, love's already won
[C]The war is ove[B]r, the war is over
[Em]The war is over, love's already won
[C]The war is over, the war[Em] is over
