The Great War

Capo: 3rd fret [Verse 1] D Em G My knuckles were bruised like violets D D Suckerpunching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked Em G Spineless in my tomb of silence D D Tore your banners down, took the battle underground Em G And maybe it was ego swinging D Maybe, it was her D Em G D Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur Chorus C All that blood shed, crimson clover G Uhuh, sweet dream was over Em D My hand was the one you reached for C All throughout the Great War G Always remember uhuh, tears on the lettеr Em D I vowed not to cry anymore D If we survived thе Great War [Verse 2] Em G You drew up some good faith treaties D D I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone Em G You said I have to trust more freely D D But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire Em G And maybe it's the past that's talking D Screaming from a crypt D Em G Telling me to punish you for things you never did D So I justified it Chorus C All that blood shed, crimson clover G Uhuh, the bombs were close and Em D My hand was the one you reached for C All throughout the Great War G Always remember uhuh, the burning embers Em D I vowed not to fight anymore C If we survived thе Great War [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK] C G Em D Uh-huh Uh-huh Bridge Am G It turned into something bigger Em D Am Somewhere in the haze got a sense I've been betrayed G Your finger on my hair pin triggers Em D Am Hold you down on that icy ground, looked up at me with honour and truth G Em Broken and blue, so I called off the troops D Am That was the night I nearly lost you G Em D I really thought I lost you [Verse 3] D Em G We can plant a memory garden D D Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair Em G There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair D And we will never go back Chorus C To that blood shed, crimson clover G Uhuh, the worst was over Em D My hand was the one you reached for C All throughout the Great War G Always remember uhuh, we're burned for better Em D I vowed I would always be yours C Cause we survived thе Great War G Em Uhuh, uhuh D I will always be yours C 'Cause we survived the Great War G Uhuh Em D I vowed I will always be yours
