• Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Intro:
Am E Am E x2

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

Pre-Chorus:
           Dm        Am
All of the fire I've swallowed
           E                           F
All of the sparks that went dark in my gut
     G#             Am
I am always burning up

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

Pre-Chorus:
           Dm         Am
All of the words I've swallowed
           E                 F
All of the sharp things I've kept in my mouth
     G#              Am
I am always bleeding out

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

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

Pre-Chorus:
           Dm       Am
All of the ire I've swallowed
           E                          F
All of the coals that still sit in my gut
     G#             Am
I am always burning up

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