Cage the Elephant - The war is over

^Em When I was a young man, I never needed anyone ^EmBruised and broken, shattered, always on the ^Crun Safe behind a half-smile,^B laying in the shadows ^Em I became a rich man, I held the world up with my hands In^Emside I was a poor man, still screaming, "I don't under^Cstand" "Why am I always running?" ^B "Why am I always hiding?" ^C "What's the point in living ^B when living feels like dying?"

You can build your ^Emwalls, love will tear it down You can hide your ^Emheart inside a man-made house You can build your ^Cwalls, build 'em to the ^Bsky One day you will ^Cfind love was on both ^Bsides

N.C.

The war is over

^Em I came upon a wise man, he said, "Sit beside me son" ^Em"When I was a young man, I was like you, the Prodigal ^CSon" Safe behind a half-smile, ^B hidin' in the shadows ^C Tell 'em that it's all right, ^B tell 'em 'cause you said so

You can build your ^Emwalls, love will tear it down You can hide your ^Emheart inside a man-made house You can build your ^Cwalls, build 'em to the ^Bsky One day you will ^Cfind love was on both ^Bsides ^Em The war is over, love's already ^Cwon The war is over, ^B the war is over ^Em The war is over, love's already ^Cwon The war is over, ^B the war is over
