[Intro]
D        Bm        G        D    A
[Verse]
There's a wDar going onBm  
Not just out the doorG  
It's inside your soul
You can't tDake no moreA  
I see dDamage from the painBm  
Poison in the rain
Nothing stGays the same
On a shDaky traiAn
[Chorus]
BmThere's a light within the darkG  
A willingness to startD  
A whisper in the treAes
A courage on your kneesBm  
But you've heard it all befoGre
And it's boring now, I'm sDure
Got the heart to make it throAugh
Cause it's beating inside youD  
[Verse]
Little rDested, maybe painfulBm  
You've been hypnotizedG  
Even goodness lies
There's a thDin disguiseA  
And I knDow you've lost some friendsBm, yeah I do
Eating from sGilver spoons
Say goodbDye at noon
Thought she'd Abe back soon
[Chorus]
I see dBmamage from the painG  
Poison in the rainD  
Because nothing stays the sAame
You can try to break the chBmain
But there's a light within the dGark
A willingness to stDart
A whisper in the trAees
A courage on your knees
[Bridge]
D        Bm        G        D    A
[Outro]
There's a wDar going onBm  G  D  A  
There's a wDar going onBm  G  D  A

[Intro]

D Bm G D A

[Verse]

D Bm

There's a war going on

Not just out the door

It's inside your soul

D A

You can't take no more

D Bm

I see damage from the pain

Poison in the rain

Nothing stays the same

D A

On a shaky train

[Chorus]

Bm G

There's a light within the dark

A willingness to start

A whisper in the trees

A courage on your knees

But you've heard it all before

And it's boring now, I'm sure

Got the heart to make it through

Cause it's beating inside you

[Verse]

D Bm

Little rested, maybe painful

You've been hypnotized

Even goodness lies

D A

There's a thin disguise

D Bm

And I know you've lost some friends, yeah I do

Eating from silver spoons

Say goodbye at noon

Thought she'd be back soon

[Chorus]

Bm G

I see damage from the pain

Poison in the rain

Because nothing stays the same

You can try to break the chain

But there's a light within the dark

A willingness to start

A whisper in the trees

A courage on your knees

[Bridge]

D Bm G D A

[Outro]

D Bm G D A

There's a war going on

D Bm G D A

There's a war going on
