(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

Still we are, after the rain
