The War

A                                
She took a walk, Past rebels and 
F#m
boys who talk
              D                  
Raised up her hand and fought, To 
            A    E7
bridge a divide
        A                    
And the screen ghosts moaned, 
              F#m
Flickered in every home
                 D               
The teeth of the times grew long, 
                     A    E7
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                  
And they’ll tell you to take your 
                          E7
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                  
The language of absentees, Is zeros
      A    E7
 and ones
       A                     
And Orlando aches, The French 
     F#m
Riviera shakes
               D                   
That avalanche overtakes, The roar 
       A    E7
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                  
And they’ll tell you to take your 
                          E7
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                           
In the tide of hate, Throw down the
 F#m
 counterweight
             D                   
Tear up that flag and say, You’re 
           A    E7  E7  E7
worthy of more

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