-Verse 1-
[G]My knuckles were [Am]bruised like
violets[C]violets Sucker punching [G]walls, cursed you as
I sleep-[G]sleep-talked Spineless in my
[Am]tomb of silence[C]silence Tore your banners
[G]down, took the battle under[G]underground And
maybe it was[Am]was egos swinging[C]swinging
Maybe it was [G]her Flashes of the
[Am]battle come back to me in a [C]blur [G]
-Chorus-
All that [F]bloodshed,
crimson clover Uh-[C]Uh-huh, sweet dream was over
My[Am] hand was the one you reached[G] for
All throughout the Great[F] War Always
remember Uh[C]Uh-huh, tears on the lеtter
I [Am]vowed not to cry [G]anymore
If wе survived the Great [F]War
-Post-Chorus-
Uh-[C]Uh-huh
Uh-[Am]Uh-huh [G]
-Verse 2-
[G]You drew up some [Am]good faith treaties[C]treaties
I drew curtains[G]curtains closed, drank my poison all alo[G]alone
You said I have to [Am]trust more freely [C]
But diesel is de[G]desire, you were playing with f[G]fire
And maybe it's the [Am]past that's talking [C]
Screaming from the [G]crypt
Telling me to [Am]punish you for things you never did [C]
[G]So I justified it
-Chorus-
All that [F]bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh-[C]Uh-huh, the bombs were closer
My [Am]hand was the one you reached for[G]for
All throughout the Great [F]War
Always remember
Uh-[C]Uh-huh, the burning embers
I [Am]vowed not to fight anymore[G]anymore
If we survived the Great [F]War
-Post-Chorus-
Uh-[C]Uh-huh
Uh-[Am]Uh-huh [G]
-Bridge-
[Dm]It turned into [C]something bigger
[Am]Somewhere in the [G]haze, got a sense I'd been be[Dm]betrayed
Your finger on my [C]hairpin triggers
[Am]Soldier down on that icy ground
Looked [G]up at me with honor and truth[Dm]truth
Broken and [C]blue, so I called off the [Am]troops
That was the [G]night I nearly lost [Dm]you
[C]I really thought I'd lost [Am]you [G]
-Part II: You're Losing Me-
-Bridge-
But [C]how long could we be a [G]sad song
'Til we were [Am]too far [G]gone to bring [F]back to life?
I gave you all my [C]best me's, my endless [G]empathy
And all I [Am]did was [G]bleed as I [F]
tried to be your bravest soldier
[G]Fighting in only your army
[Am]Front lines, don't you ignore me
[F]I'm the best thing at this party
And you're losing me
[G]And I wouldn't marry me either
[Am]A pathological people pleaser
[F]Who only wanted you to see
And I'm fading thinking, "[Am]"Do
something, babe, say [F]something
[G]Choose something, or risk [C]somet[G]something
[Am]Choose something, babe, I've got [F]nothing
To be[G]believe
Un[C]Unless you're [G]choosing me"
-Chorus-
[Am]Stop
[F]You're losing me
[G]Stop
[C]You're [G]losing me
[Am]Stop
[F]You're losing me
[G]I can't find a pulse[C]pulse [G]
-Part III: The Great War-
-Chorus-
From that [F]bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh-[C]Uh-huh, the bombs were closer
My [Am]hand was the one you reached [G]for
All throughout the Great [F]War
Always remember
Uh-[C]Uh-huh, the burning embers
I [Am]vowed not to fight any[G]anymore
If I survived the Great [F]War
-Post-Chorus-
Uh-[C]Uh-huh
-Outro-
[Am]I can't find a pulse any[G]anymore
But I survived the Great [F]War
Uh-[C]Uh-huh
I [Am]vowed not to cry any[G]anymore
If I survived the Great [F]War
