[Intro]
C Em C Em
[Verse 1]
C Em D G
I know you will not stop until you see us drop,
Am Em
till you see us go up in flames like dying stars.
C Em D G
I know your only thought is how to win back what you lost,
Am Em
cover eyes with frost and fill our brains with poison.
[Chorus]
Dm C G
World war is over now.
Dm C G
World war is over now.
Dm C G
World war is over now.
Am F
Through smoke I see the solid ground.
[Verse 2]
C Em D G
All those who have ears to hear still feel alone and draw near
Am Em
to warm breath and messages traced on cold mirrors.
C Em D G
Too late, the seed escaped from the rock, the bird, the hate.
Am Em
And all things that truly start will someday finish.
[Chorus]
Dm C G
World war is over now.
Dm C G
World war is over now.
Dm C G
World war is over now.
Am F
Through smoke I see the solid ground.
[Bridge]
Am G C Am
The time will come for silence to be found.
Am G C Am
The crippling walls, once mighty, crumble down.
Am G C Am
The wonder of the world no longer drowned,
Am G C Am
blessing is the mourning stranger’s crown.
[Chorus]
Dm C G
World war is over now.
Dm C G
World war is over now.
Dm C G
World war is over now.
Am F
Through smoke I see the solid ground.
