The War Is Over

[Intro] Em

[Verso 1]

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

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

The war is over

[Verso 2]

Em
   I came upon a wise man, he said, 
"Sit beside me son"
Em                                
"When I was a young man, I was 
                    C
like you, the Prodigal Son"
                          B
Safe behind a half-smile,   hidin' 
in the shadows
C                               B
  Tell 'em that it's all right,   
tell 'em 'cause you said so

[Estribillo]

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

[Puente]

C                 Am
Time stands still so long
B         Em
I feel so low
C           Am            B
I know what follows, what follows
