Chords with lyrics
C Am
Stifling this day is stifling
F
You're sprawled out like a king
G C
On the sheets of my queen-sized bed
C Am
And I'm too hot to lie beside
F
Possessed of idle mind
G C
This calm is a false friend
C Am
Jealousy I suspect jealousy
F
Something is changing me
G C
Real slow from the inside out
C Am
It seems you mean too much to me
F
Too much for comfort see
G C
The cause is the cure now
C F
We fought a silent war
G C Am
In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint
F G
Though I carried it on I knew that I was wrong
C Am
But I fight when I'm afraid
F Dm G C
And I come with guns a-blaaaaazing
C Am
Someone once I forget who it was
F
Said Do not think so much
G C
You can't hear what your heart says
C Am
But it speaks it tugs and puddle-leaps
F
And bangs my ribs to pieces
G C
Thoughts are the safe bet
C F
We fought a silent war
G C Am
In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint
F G
Though I carried it on I knew that I was wrong
C Am
But I fight when I'm afraid
F Dm
My guns will come a-blazing
F G C
A lesser man would be afraid
Dm C Dm C
And Oh how you razed me oh to the ground
Dm Am F
And love oh you brought me down
Dm G G7 C
With the sound of the shaming as you went out
C F Dm
G C
The cause is the cure now
C F
We fought a silent war
G C Am
In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint
F G
Though I carried it on I knew that I was wrong
C Am
But I fight when I'm afraid
F Dm
With guns I come a-blazing
F Dm
A lesser man would break free
F G C
I'm sorry 's all I meant to say
