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.
