A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE x2


♫ Verse 1:
       A minorAm   E MajorE  A minorAm  E MajorE
I've earned myself a reputation
    C majorC      G+G       C majorC  G+G
That my bark is much worse than my bite
      FF       G#G#
But I keep snapping at Goliath's hands
   A minorAm       C majorC
With all of my tiny might
       A minorAm    E MajorE   A minorAm  E MajorE
There are no stones at my disposal
      C majorC    G+G     C majorC   G+G
There's no God to award me a crown
     FF   G#G#
But I am always swinging at
  A minorAm         E MajorE
Somebody I can't knock down

♫ Pre-Chorus:
      DmDm    A minorAm
All of the fire I've swallowed
      E MajorE              FF
All of the sparks that went dark in my gut
   G#G#   G+G    A minorAm  E MajorE
I am always burning up

♫ Verse 2:
      A minorAm   E MajorE     A minorAm  E MajorE
Dress me in red and throw your roses
     C majorC     G+G      C majorC   G+G
And I'll rankle the beasts with words
    FF         G#G#
It's a graceless dance of epithets
  A minorAm          C majorC
We learn to make someone hurt
       A minorAm    E MajorE   A minorAm   E MajorE
They will consume your sweet resistance
      C majorC     G+G       C majorC   G+G
And they'll carry your heart in their teeth
  FF      G#G#
But I am always feeding them
  A minorAm        E MajorE
The ugliest parts of me

♫ Pre-Chorus:
      DmDm     A minorAm
All of the words I've swallowed
      E MajorE              FF
All of the sharp things I've kept in my mouth
   G#G#   G+G    A minorAm  E MajorE
I am always bleeding out

♫ Chorus:
      C majorC
Take me to war
         A minorAm
Honey
I dare you
      C majorC
I'll be the sweetest thing
       A minorAm
To ever scare you
     FF        A minorAm
Give me a fight I can't resist
      E MajorE            FF
Give me something to break with my fists
      G#G#
Take me to war
  G+G         A minorAm E MajorE
Oh, honey
I dare you

♫ Verse 3:
      A minorAm   E MajorE     A minorAm  E MajorE
I watched a weed usurp the garden
    C majorC      G+G      C majorC   G+G
And it poisoned the rest of the crops
       FF        G#G#
It would take days of fighting stubborn roots
  A minorAm            E MajorE
To tear the whole damn thing out
     A minorAm    E MajorE      A minorAm   E MajorE
So I will leave it where it's standing
    C majorC      G+G     C majorC   G+G
And instead I will find me a match
       FF   G#G#
I'll turn it all to kindling
   A minorAm         E MajorE
I'll burn it all down to ash

♫ Pre-Chorus:
      DmDm    A minorAm
All of the ire I've swallowed
      E MajorE             FF
All of the coals that still sit in my gut
   G#G#  G+G    A minorAm  E MajorE
I am always burning up

      C majorC
Take me to war
         A minorAm
Honey
I dare you
      C majorC
I'll be the sweetest thing
       A minorAm
To ever scare you
     FF        A minorAm
Give me a fight I can't resist
      E MajorE            FF
Give me something to break with my fists
      G#G#
Take me to war
  G+G        A minorAm  E MajorE
Oh, honey
I dare you
      A minorAm  E MajorE  C majorC
Take me to war
      A minorAm  E MajorE  C majorC
Take me to war
      A minorAm  E MajorE  C majorC
Take me to war
      A minorAm  E MajorE  C majorC  A minorAm
Take me to war
