Chords
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em When I was a young man, I never needed anyone
Bruised and broken, shattered, always on the run C
Safe behind a halfsmile,B laying in the shadows
Em I became a rich man, I held the world up with my hands
Inside I was a poor man, still screaming, "I don't understand" C
"Why am I always running?"B "Why am I always hiding?"
C "What's the point in livingB when living feels like dying?"
[Chorus]
You can build your Emwalls, love will tear it down
You can hide your heart inside a manmade house
You can build your Cwalls, build 'em to the Bsky
One day you will Cfind love was on bothB sides
The war is over
[Verse 2]
Em I came upon a wise man, he said, "Sit beside me son"
"When I was a young man, I was like you, the Prodigal Son" C
Safe behind a halfsmile,B hidin' in the shadows
C Tell 'em that it's all right,B tell 'em 'cause you said so
[Chorus]
You can build your Emwalls, love will tear it down
You can hide your heart inside a manmade house
You can build your Cwalls, build 'em to the Bsky
One day you will Cfind love was on bothB sides
[Post-Chorus]
Em The war is over, love's already won C
The war is over,B the war is over
Em The war is over, love's already won C
The war is over,B the war is over
[Interlude]
TimeC stands still soAm long
IB feel so low Em
IC know what folAmlows, what folBlows
[Chorus]
You can build your Emwalls, love will tear it down
You can hide your heart inside a manmade house
You can build your Cwalls, build 'em to the Bsky
One day you will Cfind love was on bothB sides
[Post-Chorus]
Em The war is over, love's already won C
The war is over,B the war is over
TheEm war is over, love's already won
CThe war is over,B the war is over
