[Intro]
 
C    G    D    Em  D
 
[Verse 1]
 
C       G                        D       Em            D
   And another one bites the dust, - oh, why can I not conquer love?
C            G                              D           Em                 D
   And I might have thought that we were one, wanted to fight this war without weapons
C        G                         D      Em            D
   And I wanted it, I wanted it bad, but there were so many red flags
C       G                        D       Em                   D
   Now another one bites the dust, Yeah, let’s be clear, I’ll trust no one
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
C           G          D       Em   D
  You did not break me
C           G             D      Em   D
  I’m still fighting for peace
 
[Chorus 1]
 
     C                G                    D       Em                  D
Well I’ve got thick skin and an elastic heart, but your blade it might be too sharp
C                  G                      D         Em              D
I’m like a rubber band until you pull too hard, but I may snap and I move fast
    C                 G      D      Em  D
But you won’t see me fall apart
C                 G        D      Em  D
Cause I’ve got an elastic heart
C           G        D      Em  D
I’ve got an elastic heart
C                 G        D     Em  D
Yeah, I’ve got an elastic heart
 
[Verse 2]
 
C       G                          D          Em                  D
    And I will stay up through the night, and let's be clear, I won't close my eyes
C       G                     D       Em                    D
    And I know that I can survive, I walked through fire to save my life
C              G                    D         Em          D
    And I want it, I want my life so bad, I'm doing everything I can
C        G                     D          Em             D
    Then another one bites the dust, it's hard to lose a chosen one
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
C           G          D       Em   D
  You did not break me
C           G             D      Em   D
  I’m still fighting for peace
 
[Chorus 2]
 
     C                G                    D       Em                  D

But you won’t see me fall apart
C                 G        D      Em  D
Cause I’ve got an elastic heart
C           G        D      Em  D

I can't tell if the same "D>D>U>D>U>D>U>D" pattern is used for D-Em-D... Sounds like i'm doing everything correctly but I start unsyncing with the song due to speed or something else :/ Is it D---------------Em--------------D D>U>D>U>D>U>D - D>U>D>U>D>U>D - D>U>D>U>D>U>D Or is it something like D---------------Em------D D>U>D>U>D>U>D - D>U>D>U>D>U>D Could you help me out? Thanks!

The last D is a single strum, for transaction to C
