From the "Inner Revolution" record


*Intro*

D    F#-    A


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


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

A-    G    G-    A


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

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


G                         A
  What was the sense in keeping alive
C                                G
  something that never made us satisfied
E-                              A
  sometimes it's better to get on with your life
   C                              A7
I don't believe in hurting each other all the time


*SOLO*

D     G-
D     G-
D     F#-     A


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


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

A-    G     G-    A

D


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.
