Intro:
Am F C

Verse:
            Am   F    C
The words I speak are wildfires and weeds
     Am    F          C
They spread like some awful damn disease
 Am                F         C
I swear I didn’t mean what I said
  Am             F    C
I swear I didn’t mean it

Verse:
            Am   F
Now listen close
           C
You owe me ears for dropping eaves
          Am  F
Forget it all
              C
You caught me in a moment weak
     Am     F                C
Sometimes I just can’t help myself
     Am           F              C
Sometimes I can’t help myself at all

Chorus:
       Am           F    C
Are we allies or enemies?
Am               F          C C*
This will be the death of me

Am F C
Am F C

Verse:
         Am  F
Remember when
        C                                   Am    F
I could tell you not to smile when you were mad?
    C
And you would always crack,
         Am       F              C
And we’d both be laughing in the end
Am                F         C
Now you’re not so quick to forget

Chorus:
       Am        F        C
Are we allies or enemies? This will be the death of me
Am               F        C
This will be the death of me
Am             F                 C
All is fair in love and war, but I can’t fight with you anymore
Am               F        C
This will be the death of me

Am F C
Am F C
Am F C
Am F C

Bridge:
             Am   F
What happens now?
      C
Do we have another go?
      Am  F       C
Do we bow out and take our separate roads?
     Am         F      C
I’ll admit I’ve had my doubts
      Am         F          C
But I want to be let in not out
      Am         F          C
But I want to be let in not out

Chorus:
       Am        F        C
Are we allies or enemies? This will be the death of me
Am               F        C
This will be the death of me
Am             F                 C
All is fair in love and war, but I can’t fight with you anymore
Am               F        C
This will be the death of me
       Am        F        C
Are we allies or enemies?
Am*
This will be the death of me
