Time Immemorial

F#m      C#m
Wounded soldier, rest a while.
E                       B
  In this house you’re safe from 
harm.
F#m     C#m                B
Let the war fight itself.
F#m         C#m
Don’t be alarmed-
             E                 
Though I wear a uniform of your 
 B
army’s enemy,
F#m      C#m         B
I am no enemy to you.

[Bridge]
           A                      
We didn’t start this war, or the 
C#m
one before.
           E                       
All we’ve ever wanted was to live 
        B
in peace.

[Chorus]
            F#m            
War is the mindset of those 
   C#m
threatened by the thought
           E             B
Of losing power, and control, don’t 
you see
F#m                C#m      B
Fear has been our sole enemy.
   F#m            C#m
But you and I have minds of our own,

E                 B
We can choose to disengage,
F#m                  
   From the collective 
C#m
misperception,
E                B               
   Of the kind of war that’s 
       F#m C#m E
being waged here.
B                  F#m C#m E B
   We’re living in fear.

[Verse 2]
F#m             C#m
Life, like the stream running 
through,
E                       B
  The many hills and plaines of 
landscape you,
F#m                 C#m          
To meet the greater body of the 
   B
sea.
F#m            C#m
There, not diminished but built 
upon,
E                  B             
  It returns itself to where it 
   F#m
came from,
         C#m               B
So can it be with you and me.

[Bridge]
           A                    
We are the heart and soul of our 
  C#m
greater whole.
           E                     
All we’ve ever wanted was to come 
                 B
home to ourselves.

[Chorus]
               F#m                 
Since time immemorial there’s been 
 C#m
conflict and war,
               E               B
Each new one greater than the one 
before, don't you see?
F#m                C#m        B
We have been our worst enemy.
    F#m            C#m
But you and I can break the circle,
E                 B
We don’t have to feed the flames.
F#m                C#m
   Pointing fingers, blaming others.
E                B          F#m 
  We are all to blame around 
C#m E
here,
B               F#m C#m E B
  For living in fear.
