Chords

[Verse 1]
G                   Em
These walls they've heard the war calls

     C                  D
They watch the sun fall over the feud

G                   Em
And most days they hear the lost pray

C                     D                  G G/F# 
Claiming the path lay only in their view
[Chorus]
C                   D
And how can so much beauty be

   G            Em
In ancient hate filled memories

    C            G
The paper wishes serve

         C
only the strong

              D
when they are weak

C                    D
Cries are drowned by prayers of peace

    G            Em
For them but not their enemies

    C          D                      G
And more sweet water leaves the dying sea
[Verse 2]
G                             Em
These stones were small steps in long roads

          C                         D
They held all the charred bones and buried the clues

         G             Em
And each holds a story that grows old

    C                  D              G
But glories are retold until they are true
[Chorus]
C                   D
And how can so much beauty be

   G            Em
In ancient hate filled memories

    C            G
The paper wishes serve

         C
only the strong

              D
when they are weak

C                    D
Cries are drowned by prayers of peace

    G            Em
For them but not their enemies

    C          D                      G
And more sweet water leaves the dying sea
[Verse 3]
G                             Em
These eyes they never really dry

     C                        D
They stay between weeping and choking back tears

G                          Em
They long for a people who care more

     C                      D             G
For people who care for the ones who they fear
[Chorus]
C                   D
And how can so much beauty be

   G            Em
In ancient hate filled memories

    C            G
The paper wishes serve

         C
only the strong

              D
when they are weak

C                D
But even all the blurring lines

G                 Em
They live as part but don't define

C            D            Em
Jerusalem is shining over me

C              D              G
Crying for the dead and dying sea
[Outro]
C            D            Em
Jerusalem is shining over me

C              D              G
Crying for the dead and dying sea
