A                                F#m
She took a walk, Past rebels and boys who talk
              D                              A    E7
Raised up her hand and fought, To bridge a divide
        A                                  F#m
And the screen ghosts moaned, Flickered in every home
                 D                                    A    E7
The teeth of the times grew long, And glittered with pride


[Chorus]
           F#m               C#m
'Cause the war, It isn’t out there
       F#m                 C#m
Like before, It isn’t out there
            D
But they’ll show you the blood on the face of a child
            A
And they’ll sell you your heartbreak so perfectly styled
            F#m                                            E7
And they’ll tell you to take your position and man the frontier
                        A
But take a look at that box on your desk
                    F#m
Take a look at that heart in your chest
                     D
Take a look at those thoughts in your head
                  A     E7
The war’s already here


[Verse 2]
     A                  F#m
From sea to sea, GTA to MTV
                D                        A    E7
The language of absentees, Is zeros and ones
       A                          F#m
And Orlando aches, The French Riviera shakes
               D                          A    E7
That avalanche overtakes, The roar of the guns


[Chorus]
           F#m               C#m
'Cause the war, It isn’t out there
       F#m                 C#m
Like before, It isn’t out there
            D
But they’ll show you the blood on the face of a child
            A
And they’ll sell you your heartbreak so perfectly styled
            F#m                                            E7
And they’ll tell you to take your position and man the frontier
                        A
But take a look at that box on your desk
                    F#m
Take a look at that heart in your chest
                     D
Take a look at those thoughts in your head
                  A     E7
The war’s already here


[Bridge]
       C#m     D
Its so easy to hide
       C#m       D
Behind imagined Ironsides
   C#m               D
Nostalgic and misty eyed
                       A    E7
When the wolf’s at the door


[Verse 4]
       A                            F#m
In the tide of hate, Throw down the counterweight
             D                              A    E7  E7  E7
Tear up that flag and say, You’re worthy of more

      A                                  F#m
Cause she took a walk, Past rhetoric and empty talk
              D                              A    E7
Raised up her hand and fought, To bridge a divide
        A                               F#m
You can cut that stem, But wild flowers grow again – all you can do
   D                                     A    E7
is just tend to them, And know that you tried
