Wake up! Say good morning to 
     E                  F#
that sleepy person lying next to you
           Ebm                         Abm    
If there's no one there, then there's no one there,

It's us - yes, we're back again, 
        E                         F#
here to see you through, 'til the days end
           Ebm                 Abm
And if the night comes, and the night will come, 
        E            F#
well at least the war is over

          Ebm                 Abm
Lift your head and look out the window
          E                               F#    
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go

Listen! The birds sing! Listen! The bells ring!

Gridlock on the parkway now, 
        E                     F#
the television man is here to show you how
            Ebm                        Abm
The channel fades to snow, it's off to work you go,

She's gone, she left before you woke, 
       E                       F#
as you ate last night, neither of you spoke
        Ebm                  Abm
Dishes, tv, bed the darkness filled with dread,

We won, or we think we did,

when you went away, you were just a kid
           Ebm                  Abm
And if you lost it all, and you lost it, 
        E                              F#
we will still be there when the war is over
