War Chords

E                 A
Left, right, left
C#m               A
Left, right, left
 
[Verse]
E
I woulda written the book on knocking
A
Just to die with a hand on your door
C#m                                      A
As a ghost I would come back and haunt here
 
Just to knock, knock a little more
E
Woulda shown you I'd go any length 'til
A
You know I could treat you right
C#m                                       A
And throw myself right on your grenade girl
 
Blow blow blow your mind
 
[Pre-Chorus}
C#m     Eb          A
Pull the pin 'cause I
                 C#m
Need a place to lie
    Eb           A
My head down tonight
 
[Chorus]
E
I woulda lit myself on fire
A
If it meant I could keep you warm
C#m
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
A
But for you I'd go to—
E
And if there were no survivors
A
I'll show you you're worth dying for
C#m
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
A                      E   A
But for you I'd go to war
       C#m    A
Go to war
 
[Verse]
E
I ain't never been a bar-room brawler
A
You and I know I wouldn't hurt a fly
C#m                                      A
But if you go and run your mouth about her
 
Buddy how about we step outside?
E
I'd take bruises right on the chin 'cause
A
You say your favorite colors blue
C#m                            A
But if it ever changed to red then
 
Honey I would bleed out for you
 
[Pre-Chorus}
C#m     Eb          A
Pull the pin 'cause I
                 C#m
Need a place to lie
    Eb           A
My head down tonight
 
[Chorus]
E
I woulda lit myself on fire
A
If it meant I could keep you warm
C#m
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
A
But for you I'd go to—
E
And if there were no survivors
A
I'll show you you're worth dying for
C#m
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
A                      E   A
But for you I'd go to war
       C#m    A
Go to war
 
 
[Bridge]
E
Sometimes it's an uphill battle
A
To show you that I am here
C#m                                A
And I know that the box said "fragile"
 
But we showed up broken
E
Dear God, I would give my eyes up
A
If it would make her see
C#m                            A
I'm the one before our time's up
 
Please
 
[Chorus]
E
I woulda lit myself on fire
A
If it meant I could keep you warm
C#m
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
A
But for you I'd go to—
E
And if there were no survivors
A
I'll show you you're worth dying for
C#m
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
A                      E   A
But for you I'd go to war
       C#m    A
Go to war
 
E
I woulda lit myself on fire
A
If it meant I could keep you warm
C#m
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
A
But for you I'd go to—
E
And if there were no survivors
A
I'll show you you're worth dying for
C#m
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
A                      E
But for you I'd go to war
