D                                           A7sus4
I've been waiting on a war since I was young
Em7                                    G
Since I was a little boy with a toy gun
D                                   A7sus4
Never really wanted to be number one
Em7                      G
Just wanted to love everyone

Chorus:
          Em7                G
Is there more to this than that?
          D                  A7sus4
Is there more to this than that?
          Em7                G
Is there more to this than that?
          C
Is there more to this
More to this
More to this than
                   D A# F C
Just waiting on a war?
                   D A# F G
Just waiting on a war?

Everyday waiting for the sky to fall
Big crash on a world that's so small
Just a boy with nowhere left to go
Fell in love with a voice on the radio

Chorus

                   D                 A#
Just waiting on a war for this and that
                   G
There's got to be more to this than that
                   D                 A#
Just waiting on a war for this and that
                   G
There's got to be more to this than that

I've been waiting on a war since I was young
Since I was a little boy with a toy gun
Is there more to this
More to this
More to this than

Chorus:
                   D  A# F C
Just waiting on a war?
                   D  A# F G
Just waiting on a war?
                   D                A#
Just waiting on a war for this and that
                   G
There's got to be more to this than that
                   D                A#
Just waiting on a war for this and that
                   G
There's got to be more to this than that
                   D                A#
Just waiting on a war for this and that
                   G
There's got to be more to this than that
                   D                A#
Just waiting on a war for this and that
                   G
There's got to be more to this than that

                D  A# G
Because I need more
              D  A# G
Yeah, I need more
                        D A# G
Than just waiting on a war
