The War Is Over chords

Em

Em
   When I was a young man, I never needed anyone
Em                                           C
Bruised and broken, shattered, 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                                                    C
Inside I was a poor man, still 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?"

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

Em
   I came upon a wise man, he said, "Sit beside me son"
Em                                                    C
"When I was a young man, I was 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

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

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

                   Em
You can build your walls, love will tear it down
                  Em
You can hide your heart inside a man-made house
                   C                       B
You can build your walls, build 'em to the sky
                 C                     B
One day you will find love was on both sides
Em                                C
  The war is over, love's already won
                 B
The war is over,   the war is over
Em                                C
  The war is over, love's already won
                 B5
The war is over,   the war is over
