The War In The Gulf Between Us chords by Adrian Belew

Chords with lyrics

From the "Inner Revolution" record


*Intro*

D MajorD  F#-  A augmentedA


   D MajorD          G+G      D MajorD
It started long ago, you have to understand
   F#-             G+G
we thought we'd make a life, we thought we had a plan
   D MajorD            G+G        D MajorD
we built it like a house and filled it up with kids
   F#-
the only trouble is
  C majorC          G+G
I won't be back again

    D MajorD            G-
Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind
   B-          E MajorE
and nothing I can do will bring it back again
 G+G         G-         A augmentedA
nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us
D MajorD            G-
something in my heart no longer could survive
    B-           E MajorE
those battles in the day, the quiet in the night
  G+G             G-        D MajorD     F#-
I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us

A-  G+G  G-  A augmentedA


   D MajorD           G+G        D MajorD
And then it all began, the quarrels and the moods
 F#-              G+G
I tip-toed all around you; you danced around me too
   D MajorD            G+G         D MajorD
and somewhere in between we found the time for love
  F#-
the only trouble is
  C majorC         G+G
it never was enough


   D MajorD             G-
Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind
  B-          E MajorE
and nothing I can do will bring it back again
 G+G         G-        A augmentedA
nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us
D MajorD            G-
something in my heart no longer could survive
   B-            E MajorE
those battles in the day, the quiet in the night
  G+G             G-         D MajorD     F#-
I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us

G+G             A augmentedA
 What was the sense in keeping alive
C majorC                G+G
 something that never made us satisfied
E-               A augmentedA
 sometimes it's better to get on with your life
  C majorC               A7A7
I don't believe in hurting each other all the time


*SOLO*

D MajorD   G-
D MajorD   G-
D MajorD   F#-   A augmentedA


   D MajorD             G+G     D MajorD
Now after all the lawyers have eaten our remains
  F#-            G+G
and after all the nights have swallowed up the pain
   D MajorD             G+G       D MajorD
then maybe we will meet, we'll find a neutral place
   F#-
the only trouble is
   C majorC            G+G
what will we have to say?


   D MajorD              G-
Well something in our hearts will have to try and give
  B-              E MajorE
and something in our hearts will have to learn to live
 G+G         G-         D MajorD      F#-
together and apart without another war between us

A-  G+G   G-  A augmentedA

D MajorD


As always, fell free to make this tab better.
This is one of the most "pop" song written by Adrian, but I love it from the deep of my
'cause what you can find here are a very amazing words, talking about the end of his
(the following rise up is "May 1, 1990" from "Here").
I wrote only the chord just because the note and solo parts are very simple to find.
I hope you'll enjoy playing this with your acoustic guitar, singing with your friends
dedicating to your ex girlfriend!
Simple but simply beautiful.
Thank you Ade.
