Em When I was a young man, I never needed anyone 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 Inside I was a poor man, still screaming, C "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 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 The war is over I came upon a wise man, he said, "Sit beside me son" "When I was a young man, I was like you, the Prodigal Son" Safe behind a half-smile, hidin' in the shadows Tell 'em that it's all right, tell 'em 'cause you said so Chorus: You can build your walls, love will tear it down You can hide your heart inside a man-made house You can build your walls, build 'em to the sky One day you will find love was on both sides The war is over, love's already won The war is over, the war is over The war is over, love's already won The war is over, the war is over C Am Time stands still so long B Em I feel so low C Am B I know what follows, what follows Chorus: You can build your walls, but love will tear it down You can hide your heart inside a man-made house You can build your walls, build 'em to the sky One day you will find love was on both sides The war is over, love's already won The war is over, the war is over The war is over, love's already won The war is over, the war is over | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm  C  Em  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
