             ANDREW NEAL

CAPO: 2nd FRET

INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
D              A
 Here we stand on a battlefield
             Bm
Of the head and the heart
                    G
Crunched our teeth behind swords and shields
              D
There’s a war about to start
              A
And they’ll be many casualties
             Bm7
Left behind on the ground
            G
And as promised fatalities
           A      D
But the chaos will drown them out

              D A
It’s a fight we’ve all chosen
   C   F# Bm
And inevitability
            A  G
But let’s cheers to us hoping
            A  D
That it’s where we all wanna be

      D         D
And there’s no way of knowing (no way of knowing)
     A      F# Bm
What the outcome will be
             G
But I’d rather get broken
     G      A  D
And hold on to your memories


CHORUS:
  D                      Bm
I don’t know what my future holds but I know I want you there
    G                       D
In whatever way brings all that happiness into your life
  D                       Bm
I don’t know how this all unfolds but I know that I don’t care
  G                 A     D  D D D
As long as one way or another you’re here by my side

G   F#m   Bm7  G   A D


VERSE:
    D
If my heart’s like an open ocean
            F# Bm
Then your love`s like reef
              G
If my sorrow a weeping willow
               D
Then your words are the lea-eaves

                   A
If your eyes like a queen-sized mattress
          Bb Bm
Then I need to lay down
               G
If my arms could erase your sadness
           D
Then I’d wrap them around you now

          A
If I promise forever
            F# Bm
Would you still stick arou-ound?
             Am   G
Lose the chance and find someone better
    G      A     D
In the hope that it all works out

               A
And they say that it’s better
            Bb  Bm
To have love than have lo-o-ost
           Am  G
But mom raised a go-getter
       G     A    D
A man who’s willing to pay the cost


CHORUS:
  D         A        F#    Bm    Bm7 Bm7
I don’t know what my future holds but I know I want you there
A   G                  A     D
In whatever way brings all that happiness into your life
  D       Bm  A       F#     Bm7     Bm7
I don’t know how this all unfolds but I know that I don’t care
A  G                 A     D
 As long as one way or another you’re here by my side

   D     Bm   A              Bm7     Bm7
I’d walk life barefoot on hot coals to prove that I can withstand
A7  G                  A    D
 Any pain that we cause to each other on out or inside
         Bm7 A        F#    Bm7      Bm7
I don’t know what my future holds but I know I want you there
  G          A          G  G A A Bm Bm Em
As long as one way or another you’re here by my siiiiiiiiiiiiiide
