The War Is Over (Sleepers)
(Engel/Semel)

	
	
	Intro: Gmaj7 Cmaj9
	
	
	Verse 1
	
	Gmaj7                          Cmaj9
	Everything still, everything silent as after the rain
	
	                     Gmaj7
	We lie here listening to night close down
	
	                                    Cmaj9
	Stare like a child, wait for the signs to decide once again
	
	                          Gmaj7
	Just when they looked here to stay
	
	Em(add9) Em        F#m7(b5)   B7
	We're to leave our world, our air
	
	Emaj7    Dmaj7
	It really isn't fair
	
	
	
	Chorus
	
	G                C
	Outside they sing "the war is over"
	
	G                  F           Eb
	Raise your blinds - the war is over
	
	G         D            Gmaj7
	Tell your deepest dark goodbye
	
	
	
	Verse 2
	
	                                 Cmaj9
	A distant waltz turns in the head of an old lady's night
	
	                Gmaj7
	Waiting hands unfold within the dark
	
	                                        Cmaj9
	Lighting her lamp, seeing Prince Albert, recalling the sight
	
	                Gmaj7
	They waltz again through the park
	
	Em(add9)    Em      F#m7(b5)  B7
	Floorboards creak beneath the moon
	
	Emaj7      Dmaj7
	The room below just sighs
	
	
	
	Chorus
	
	G                C
	Outside they sing "the war is over"
	
	G                  D           Eb
	Raise your blinds - the war is over
	
	G      D              Gmaj7
	Let me get some sleep tonight
	
	
	
	Verse 3
	
	Gmaj7                              Cmaj9
	Everything still, everything silent as after the rain
	
	                            Gmaj7
	Still we are, after the rain
	
	
	End
