Intro:
Am G
There is a war between the rich and poor a war between the man and the woman
Am G
There is a war between the ones who say there-is-a-war and the ones who say that there isn't
D C G
Why don't you come on back to the war? that's right, get in it
D C G
Why don't you come on back to the war? it's just beginning
Am G
Well I live here with a woman and a child, the situation makes me kind of nervous
Am G
Yes, I rise up from her arms, she says "I guess you call this love" I call it service
D C G
Why don't you come on back to the war? don't be a tourist
D C G
why don't you come on back to the war? before it hurts us
D C G
why don't you come on back to the war? let's all get nervous
Am G
You cannot stand what I've become, you much prefer the gentleman I was before
Am G
I was so easy to defeat, I was so easy to control, I didn't even know there was a war
D C G
Why don't you come on back to the war? don't be embarrassed
D C G
why don't you come on back to the war? you can still get married
Am G
There is a war between the rich and poor, a war between the man and the woman
Am
There is a war between the left and right, a war between the black and white
G
a war between the odd and the even
D C G
Why don't you come on back to the war? pick up your tiny burden
D C G
why don't you come on back to the war? let's all get even
D C G
why don't you come on back to the war? can't you hear me speaking?
