I Choose Violence Chords

[Intro]
Ab
 
[Verse 1]
Ab                                        Bbm
You told me I was eighteen going on thirtyfive
                                          Eb
You made me feel like the smartest human alive
                                      Ab
I thought I was clever, but, were you cleverer
                                                 Bbm
You said you never fell in love like you did with me
                                             Eb
You paid for all the hotels, I paid for fake ID's
                                              Ab
To spend the last ten years tryna piece it together
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          Bbm
I went to therapy religiously
   Eb
I never sleep
                     Ab          Edim/G   Db
I made my brother promise me hе’d let you live
              Dbm
And I guess I could forgivе
 
 
[Chorus]
             Ab                Eb
So I choose violence, I choose war
            Fm                           Db
For all the little girls that should be warned
                Ab               Eb
I could choose silence, but what for?
            Fm
You took my innocence
              Db
Now I'll take yours
             Ab      Eb
So I choose violence
               Fm     Db
And I might die tryin'
 
 
[Verse 2]
Ab                                                    Bbm
Now you’re prolly her world and she won't understand
                                           Eb
That all you need is a girl to feel like a man
                                                   Ab
Tell your friends she's a friend at your hometown dive
Ab
But when you were thirteen she wasn't alive
           Bbm
And by the time you were eighteen, well, that girl was fiive
            Eb                                                  Ab
You had a teaching degree while she was learnin' how to drive
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                Bbm                         Eb
And you'll make her feel safe like you made me feel safe
             Ab            Edim/G          Db
Like, oh my god, you're so mature for your age
             Dbm
Except she's not your age
 
 
[Chorus]
             Ab                Eb
So I choose violence, I choose war
            Fm                           Db
For all the little girls that should be warned
                Ab               Eb
I could choose silence, but what for?
            Fm
You took my innocence
              Db
Now I'll take yours
 
 
[Bridge]
                  Ab               Eb
And you’ll choose hiding at fourty-four
        Fm                              Db
In your mothers house; she'll guard the door
                Ab                  Eb
But I’ll choose anger, I'll choose rage
                 Fm                     Db
When I build an army of girls half your age, oh
 
 
[Chorus]
                 Ab                         Eb
We’ll all choose violence, We’ll all choose war
          Fm                  Db
And every little girl will be warned
                Ab              Eb
We won‘t choose silence, not anymore
              Fm
You took our innocence
               Db
Now we'll take yours
             Ab     Eb
So I choose violence
                  Fm     Db
And maybe I’ll die tryin'
