The War In The Gulf Between Us

D    F#m    A


      D                   G            D
It started long ago, you have to understand
     F#m                          G
we thought we'd make a life, we thought we had a plan
     D                        G                D
we built it like a house and filled it up with kids
     F#m
the only trouble is
   C                    G
I won't be back again


        D                        Gm
Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind
     Bm                   E
and nothing I can do will bring it back again
  G                  Gm                 A
nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us
D                        Gm
something in my heart no longer could survive
       Bm                      E
those battles in the day, the quiet in the night
   G                         Gm                D          F#m
I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us

Am    G    Gm    A


     D                      G                D
And then it all began, the quarrels and the moods
  F#m                           G
I tip-toed all around you; you danced around me too
     D                       G                 D
and somewhere in between we found the time for love
    F#m
the only trouble is
   C                  G
it never was enough


      D                          Gm
Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind
    Bm                    E
and nothing I can do will bring it back again
  G                  Gm                A
nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us
D                        Gm
something in my heart no longer could survive
      Bm                       E
those battles in the day, the quiet in the night
   G                         Gm                  D          F#m
I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us


G                         A
  What was the sense in keeping alive
C                                G
  something that never made us satisfied
Em                              A
  sometimes it's better to get on with your life
   C                              A7
I don't believe in hurting each other all the time


*G  O*

D     Gm
D     Gm
D     F#m     A


     D                         G          D
Now after all the lawyers have eaten our remains
    F#m                        G
and after all the nights have swallowed up the pain
     D                          G             D
then maybe we will meet, we'll find a neutral place
     F#m
the only trouble is
     C                       G
what will we have to say?


     D                            Gm
Well something in our hearts will have to try and give
    Bm                           E
and something in our hearts will have to learn to live
  G                  Gm                  D            F#m
together and apart without another war between us

Am    G     Gm    A
