[G]My knuckles were [Am]bruised like violets[C]
Sucker punching walls,[G] cursed you as I sleep-talked[G]
Spineless in my tomb[Am] of silence[C]
Tore your banners down,[G] took the battle underground[G]
And maybe it was [Am]ego swinging[C]
Maybe it was her[G]
[G]Flashes of the [Am]battle come back to me in a blur[C] [G]
All that[F] bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh-huh,[C] sweet dream was over
My hand[Am] was the one you reached for[G]
All throughout the Great War[F]
Always remember Uh-huh,[C] tears on the letter
I[Am] vowed not to cry anymore[G]
If we survived the Great War[G]
[F]Uh-huh[C]
[Am]Uh-huh[G]
You drew up some[Am] good faith treaties[C]
I drew curtains closed,[G] drank my poison all alone[G]
You said I have to[Am] trust more freely[C]
But diesel is desire,[G] you were playin' with fire[G]
And maybe it's the past[Am] that's talkin'[C]
Screamin' from the crypt[G]
[G]Tellin' me to punish[Am] you for things you never did[C]
[G]So I justified it
All that[F] bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh-huh, [C]the bombs were close and
My hand[Am] was the one you reached for[G]
All throughout the Great War[F]
Always remember
Uh-huh,[C] the burning embers
I [Am]vowed not to fight anymore[G]
If we survived the Great War[F]
[F]Uh-huh[C]
[Am]Uh-huh[G]
[Dm]It turned into [C]something bigger
[Am]Somewhere in the haze,[G] got a sense I'd been betrayed[Dm]
Your finger on my hair[C] pin triggers
[Am]Soldier down on that icy ground
[G]Looked up at me with honor and truth[Dm]
Broken and blue,[C] so I called off the troops[Am]
That was the night[G] I nearly lost you[Dm]
[C]I really thought I lost[Am] you[G]
[C]How long could we be a [G]sad song?
Till 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 the
bravest soldier
[G]Fighting in only your army, [Am]frontlines, don't you
ignore me
[F]I'm the best thing at this party (you're losing me)
[G]And I wouldn't marry me either
[Am]A pathological people pleaser
[F]Who only wanted you to see her
And I'm fading, thinking
[Am]Do something, babe, [F]say something
[G]Lose something, babe, risk [C]something
[Am]Choose something, babe, I got [F]nothing
To [G]believe, [C]unless you're choosing [Am]me
[Am]Stop, [F]you're losing me
[G]Stop, [C]you're losing me
I can't find a pulse
All that[F] bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh-huh, [C]the bombs were close and
My hand[Am] was the one you reached for[G]
All throughout the Great War[F]
Always remember Uh-huh,[C] tears on the letter
I[Am] vowed not to cry anymore[G]
If I survived the Great War[G]
[F]Uh-huh[C]
[Am]Uh-huh[G]
I can't find a pulse anymore
[F]But I survived the Great War
[F]Uh-huh[C]
I[Am] vowed not to cry anymore[G]
If I survived the Great War[F]
