C                   Em         G             Em
Well, you have been kind and I know it seems hopeless
C              Em               G         Em
You smooth the ground, tear the knots all apart
C                 Em            G             Em
You're helping me move from the inside to the outside
C                Em         G          Em
You're trying so hard and I can't even start


[Chorus]

       G      Em
It's a war in there
       G      Em
It's a war in there


[Verse 2]

C                   Em        G             Em
And you peacemakers go to the same place as soldiers
C                   Em               G              Em
If you want to make peace, well, you gotta find the pain
C              Em                G                      Em
You bring your words, but you're just like them, you're unprepared
C                Em       G             Em
'Cause you don't know the terrain


[Chorus]

       G      Em
It's a war in there
       G      Em
It's a war in there


[Verse 3]

C             Em              G          Em
And don't you know I'll never give you a medal
C            Em                 G            Em
Made back on state-side, in the central time zone
C                 Em            G               Em
The one that they pinned to the outside, to the outside
C                Em          G       Em
And it leads you all the way home


[Chorus]

       G      Em
It's a war in there
       G      Em
It's a war in there
