[Intro]
Em Em

[Verse 1]
Em Em
When I was a young man, I never needed anyone
Em Em C C
Bruised and broken, shattered, always on the run
B B
Safe behind a half-smile, laying in the shadows
Em Em
I became a rich man, I held the world up with my hands
Em Em C C
Inside I was a poor man, still screaming, "I don't understand"
B B
"Why am I always running?" "Why am I always hiding?"
C C B B
"What's the point in living when living feels like dying?"



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



[Verse 2]
Em Em
I came upon a wise man, he said, "Sit beside me son"
Em Em C C
"When I was a young man, I was like you, the Prodigal Son"
B B
Safe behind a half-smile, hidin' in the shadows
C C B B
Tell 'em that it's all right, tell 'em 'cause you said so



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



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



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