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
