INTRO: G  Em x2

     G          Em                  C                    D 
Wake up! Say good morning to that sleepy person lying next to you
           Bm7                        Em
If there's no one there, then there's no one there, 
       C                D
but at least the war is over
     G             Em                       C                           D 
It's us - yes, we're back again, here to see you through, 'til the days end
           Bm7          Em                              
And if the night comes, and the night will come, 
        C                D
well at least the war is over
            Bm7                    Em   
Lift your head and look out the window
            C                                                        D
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
 Am7     Em                     C           D
Listen! The birds sing! Listen! The bells ring!
          C                        D
All the living are dead, and the dead are all living
    G                     Em
The war is over and we are beginning...
     G             Em                       C                           D 
Gridlock on the parkway now, the television man is here to show you how
             Bm7                          Em                                
The channel fades to snow, it's off to work you go, 
        C               D
but at least the war is over
     G             Em                       C                           D 
She's gone, she left before you woke, as you ate last night, neither of you spoke
        Bm7                  Em                           
Dishes, tv, bed the darkness filled with dread, 
       C                D
but at least the war is over
            Bm7                    Em   
Lift your head and look out the window
            C                                                        D
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
 Am7     Em                     C           D
Listen! The birds sing! Listen! The bells ring!
          C                        D
All the living are dead, and the dead are all living
          C                        D
The war is over and we are beginning...
     G             Em                       C                           D 
We won, or we think we did, when you went away, you were just a kid
           Bm7                 Em                               
And if you lost it all and you lost it, 
        C                              D
we will still be there when the war is over
            Bm7                    Em   
Lift your head and look out the window
            C                                                        D
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
 Am7     Em                     C           D
Listen! The birds sing! Listen! The bells ring!
          C                        D
All the living are dead, and the dead are all living
          C                        D
The war is over and we are beginning...
        G                     Em                 G                     Em 
Here it comes! Here comes the first day! Here it comes! Here comes the first day!

It starts up in our bedroom after the war, 
C                                   D
Up in our bedroom after the war, 
          G   Em             G   Em          
After the war!     After the war...
