Words and Lyrics copyrighted Stuart William Hagan©
G C
After four years of peace and then a Wedding Day
Am D
Then three more years of peace
<--tacet----> G
Then the war began
G C
And still in the middle our son
<--tacet--------> G And the war goes on
C G D
And only once in the last six months
<--tacet------>D G
Have you ever loved me, dear
C G D
And only once in the last twelve months
C G
Have you ever touched my face
CHORUS
G C Em G
This war is going on too long
D7 C D
Either we should be miles apart
<tacet>D G
Or best lovers and friends
G C
After four years of love and then a baby child
Am D
And then the love ran dry
<--tacet----> G
And we began to cry
G C
And still in the middle a wall
<--tacet--------> G And the war goes on
C G D
In the lonely nights we sat together alone
<--tacet---> D G
Did we ever share our youthful tones
C G D
In the lonely nights we sat together apart
C G
Just sitting with our breaking hearts
CHORUS
G C Em G
This war is going on too long
D7 C D
Either we should be miles apart
<tacet>D G
Or best lovers and friends
G C
After twelve months of war now comes a final day
Am D
With just these last words
<--tacet----> G
That I have to say
G C
For still in the middle our love
<--tacet-----> G D Has to make amends
<--tacet--------> G Let's now be friends
C G D
In the lonliness of sleeping at night
<--tacet------>D G
Did you ever cease to fight
C G D
Did you ever recall any aching times
C G D
When you wished that you were mine
<tacet> D G
Just one more time
CHORUS
G C Em G
This war is going on too long
D7 C D
Either we should be miles apart
<tacet>D G
Or best lovers and friends
