[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
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?"
[Chorus]
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
N.C.
The war is over
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
C Am Time stands still so long B Em I feel so low C Am B I know what follows, what follows
[Chorus]
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.
