She took a walk [F#m] past rebels and boys who talk
[D] Raised up her hand and fought [A] to bridge a divide
[E] [A] And the scream ghosts moaned [F#m] flickered in every home
The [D] teeth of their tines grew long [A] and glittered with pride
[E] [F#m] Cause the war isn't [E] out there
[F#m] Like before, it [E] isn't out there
[D] But they'll show you the blood on the face of a [A] child
And they'll sell you your heartbreak so perfectly [D] styled
And they'll tell you to take your position and [E] man the frontier
But take a [A] look at that box on your desk
Take a [F#m] look at that heart in your chest
Take a [D] look at those thoughts in your head
[A] The war's already here
[E] [A] From C to C [F#m] GTA to MTV
The [D] language of absentees is [A] zeros and ones
[E] [A] And Orlando aches, the [F#m] French Riviera shakes
That [D] avalanche overtakes the [A] roar of the guns
[E] [F#m] Cause the war [E] isn't out there
[F#m] Like before, it [E] isn't out there
[D] But they'll show you the blood on the face of a child
[A] And they'll sell you your heartbreak so perfectly [D] styled
And they'll tell you to take your position and man [E] the frontier
But take a look [A] at that box on your desk
Take a look [F#m] at that heart in your chest
Take a look [A] at those thoughts in your head
The war's already here
[E] [C#m] It's so [D] easy to hide [C#m] behind the imagined [D] dying sight
[C#m] Nostalgic and [D] misty-eyed when the wolf's [A] at the door
[E] [A] In the time of hate, throw [F#m] down the counterweight
Tear [D] up that flag and say you're worthy [A] of more
Cause she took a walk past [F#m] rhetoric and [F#] empty talk
Raised [D] up her hand, fought to bridge a [A] divide
[E] You [A] can cut that stem, but [F#m] wildflowers grow [B] again
All you can do [D] is just tend to them
I know that [C] you try
[D] Raised up her hand and fought [A] to bridge a divide
