Intro:

E Am E Am E Am E Am E Am E Am
E C#m G#m E C#m G#m

Verse 1:
E     C#m       G#m
Maybe I've been fooling myself
    E        C#m        G#m
For thinking you should come back
            F#m            E
And my last letter's gonna break
           F#m              B
All of the bridges we spent years to make

Verse 2:
E   C#m         G#m
All I can do is explain
           E       C#m      G#m
All of the reasons I cannot stay
          F#m          E
I've been to the front lines
                F#m              B      B7
And now there's no trace of hope left inside

Chorus:
E         Eaddb6    A
I've been taken too far
               Am                  E
I cracked when I tried to press my luck
       Eaddb6     A        Am
Hoping you'd come pick me up
                E Am     E  Am     E C#m G#m E C#m G#m
And my heart is war torn, war torn

Verse 3:
E        C#m       G#m
If one's born into battle
                 E         C#m     G#m
And doesn't know any other kind of life
              F#m            E
How could the battle seem so bad,
          F#m               B               B7
When it's all you've known, it's all you've had?

Chorus:
E         Eaddb6       Am
I've been taken too far
  A            Am                  E
I cracked when I tried to press my luck
       Eaddb6     A        Am
Hoping you'd come pick me up
E Eaddb6 A Am E Eadd11 A Am
                E  Am     E  Am
And my heart is war torn, war torn
  E          Am  E
This love is war torn
