Wake up! Say good morning to 
     E                  F#
that sleepy person lying next to you
           D#m                         G#m    
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
           D#m                 G#m
And if the night comes, and the night will come, 
        E            F#
well at least the war is over

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

E         F#           B            G#m
Listen! The birds sing! Listen! The bells ring!

All the living are dead, and the dead are all living

Gridlock on the parkway now, 
        E                     F#
the television man is here to show you how
            D#m                        G#m
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
        D#m                  G#m
Dishes, tv, bed the darkness filled with dread, 
       E                F#
but at least the war is over

We won, or we think we did, 
         E                   F#
when you went away, you were just a kid
           D#m                  G#m
And if you lost it all, and you lost it, 
        E                              F#
we will still be there when the war is over
