Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 
 10 am, and a new day begins, that old mornin' sun covers up most everything
 
 The Backyard, The Dirt And The Cars
 
 The Confusion, The Chaos Of What We Are
 (You get the idea..listen to the song, you'll get the timing.
 * lift your 4th finger off the G-string and hit back on it, mess around a little bit :)
 ** Put your pinky on 3rd fret and lift it off. Again, just mess around )
 The Sounds Outside Are A Hushed Up Waltz
 But Silence Speaks Words Neither True Nor False
 But It’s Just Us That Make Them What They Are
 So Stupid, Cruel, Too Close And Too Far
 (play the intro again)
 Well I Remember All The Words That You Said
 You Said You Believed In A Love That Could Last Way Past Death
 So I Ordered Another 2 Drinks
 Just To Make Time For Myself, To Think
 About Who We Really Are
 As We Flick Thru The Pages Of Our Calendars
 To Find Just What We Really Need
 Is Something That Knows Nothing Bout Ignorance Or Greed
 But Now It’s Back To The Amusement Park
 
 Walk Past The Bright Lights On Your Way Back Home In The Dark
 
 And I Guess You’ve Heard This One Before
   (play with pinky) -> intro again
 You Can’t Start Rebuilding Till You’ve Won The War
 (Now it's all just the same)
 Down In The Basement With My New Found Friend
 He’s Not A Man Of Words But God, He’s Heaven Sent
 And He’ll Listen To The Storys That I’ve Got To Tell
 And He’s Not Afraid To Hear The Ones Bout Heaven And Hell
 There Are Some Things That I Keep In Boxes Deep Within
 Birds, Bugs And Animals That Never Get To See The Sun
 Cause You’d All Run Away If I Dragged Them All Out
 So I Just Soldier On Like A Good Cub Scout
 (play: Gsus - Cadd - Gsus - Cadd -  -  -  - )
 I Was Told There’s A Message In The Smell Of Cut Grass
 It’s Not Hard To Understand It’s Just Thin As Glass
 So Just Be Careful Not To Break It Before You Leave
 As You Write Down The All The Words On Your Shirtsleeve
 But Now It’s Back To The Amusement Park
 Walk Past The Bright Lights On Your Way Home In The Dark
 And I Guess You’ve Heard This One Before
 You Can’t Start Rebuilding Till You’ve Won The War
 Till You’ve Won The War.
 Alright, have fun.
