Intro

       

Verse 1

All is quiet his ti - red eyes
See figures jotted down and clothes all thrown around
A/E E C#m/G#* G#
The bed - room floor
Now nothing's adding up and nothing's making sense
She's sleeping like a ba - by
A/E E C#m/G#* G# Amaj7
She doesn't know he wasn't meant for this

Chorus

I'm missing the war
I'm missing the war all - night
C#m7 F#7 F#7 F#9 (A Am6/C E2 F#7)
Missing the war, I'm missing the war

Verse 2

He drove home a - gain, pissed and beaten
It's really no big deal, it happens all the time
A/E E C#m/G#* - G#
It's no big deal

Chorus

I'm missing the war
I'm missing the war all - night
Missing the war, I'm missing the war

Bridge

F#9 G G/D G E - Esus4/F# - E5/G#
Till beads of sunlight hit me in the morning
So much time, so little to say  

Verse 3

Time may fly and dreams may die
The shaking voice that tells him go
A/E E C#m/G#* - G#
Still thinks he might, he knows he won't

Chorus

I'm missing the war
I'm missing the war all - night
C#m7 F#7 F#7 F#9 (A Am6/C E2 F#7)
Missing the war, I'm missing the war
