Verse 1:
            A            A
How did we ever come to this?
            E                      E
You cry and I just sit in silence
              D                     D
What does it mean to be a good man?
                 E                          Dsus2
When every time you take my hand, I pull us both down again
            A           A
When did I ever get so mean?
                  E                          E
You've done your best try'na give me what I need
           D                 D
How did I make you my enemy?
            E                     Dsus2
Letting my ego control me 'til I lose my best friend

Pre-Chorus:
        Bm
In the end, it's you
                  C#m
It's always been you
                         F#m
That's something I can't undo
                        E
And I'll do all that I can just to make it through


Chorus 1:
        A                             E
We'll fight through the battles now

This is our war to win
                            D
Can't let it take us down

This time I will defend
 A                   E
How do we keep our love on the front line?

Let's fall even harder than the first time


Verse 2:
              A                 A
The heat was hot when we met in Miami
              E                           E
Your loving eyes locked with mine and you had me
          D                    D
I wanna crash into that memory
              E                        Dsus2
Love you the way that I didn't, be the man I should be
             A                 A
But I fall back, not being my best
              E                         E
Like all my pride's getting put to the test
              D               D
I've been projecting bad energy
                E                              Dsus2
When every day I've got the chance to love you more than the rest


Pre-Chorus:
        Bm
Don't forget, it's you
                  C#m
It's always been you
                         F#m
That's something I can't undo
                        E
And I'll do all that I can just to make it through
