The War in the Gulf Between Us Adrian Belew
From the "Inner Revolution" record
*Intro*
[D] [F#-] [A]
It sta[D]rted long ago, you h[G]ave to unders[D]tand
we th[F#-]ought we'd make a life, we th[G]ought we had a plan
we bu[D]ilt it like a house and f[G]illed it up with [D]kids
the o[F#-]nly trouble is
I w[C]on't be back again[G]
Cause so[D]mething in my heart has t[G-]aken to the wind
and n[B-]othing I can do will [E]bring it back again
no[G]body ever wins the [G-]war in the gulf bet[A]ween us
[D]something in my heart no [G-]longer could survive
those b[B-]attles in the day, the q[E]uiet in the night
I l[G]ost the will to fight the [G-]war in the gulf be[D]tween us[F#-]
[A-] [G] [G-] [A]
And t[D]hen it all began, the q[G]uarrels and the m[D]oods
I [F#-]tip-toed all around you; you d[G]anced around me too
and s[D]omewhere in between we f[G]ound the time for [D]love
the [F#-]only trouble is
it [C]never was enough[G]
Cause [D]something in my heart has t[G-]aken to the wind
and [B-]nothing I can do will [E]bring it back again
no[G]body ever wins the [G-]war in the gulf be[A]tween us
[D]something in my heart no [G-]longer could survive
those [B-]battles in the day, the q[E]uiet in the night
I l[G]ost the will to fight the [G-]war in the gulf betw[D]een us[F#-]
[G] What was the sense in ke[A]eping alive
[C] something that never made us sa[G]tisfied
[E-] sometimes it's better to get o[A]n with your life
I d[C]on't believe in hurting each ot[A7]her all the time
*SOLO*
[D] [G-]
[D] [G-]
[D] [F#-] [A]
Now a[D]fter all the lawyers have [G]eaten our r[D]emains
and [F#-]after all the nights have s[G]wallowed up the pain
then [D]maybe we will meet, we'll f[G]ind a neutral [D]place
the o[F#-]nly trouble is
what [C]will we have to say?[G]
Well [D]something in our hearts will [G-]have to try and give
and [B-]something in our hearts will [E]have to learn to live
to[G]gether and apart wi[G-]thout another war be[D]tween us[F#-]
[A-] [G] [G-] [A]

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.
