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
(Parada)
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
