          THIS IS WAR
          EMILY KINNEY


CAPO: 3rd FRET

INTRO:
D Em  D Em


VERSE:
   D
Oh I know, I know, I know
               Em
All the songs you write are about me
     D
But you changed the names

So I can’t stake my claim
      Em
You’re so greedy
    D
And I know, I know, I know
                   Em
That you think you’re a much better writer
      D
And that might be true

But what I’ve got on you
     Em
Is I’m a fighter


CHORUS:
     D
This is war
        Em
My fingers are sore
         D
So far from the top
         G
But I refuse to stop
          D
Got shakers in my eardrums
        Em
Bossing like a new gun
         D
Baby, when it’s all done
             G
You won’t mind that I’ve won
      D
This is a battle
       Em
You are the prize
        D
Put down that piano
         G
Let’s start our lives
         D
You’ve got more soldiers
          Em
But I’ve got more passion
         D
And I’m right behind you
        G
Just gaining traction
        D
POW! POW! POW! POW!
         Em
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
        D
POW! POW! POW! POW!
         Em
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!


VERSE:
    D
And I know, I know, I know
                   Em
About the lovers in your bulletproof lining
       D
They don’t intimidate
                   Em
They’re just too bit-ah late and bad timing
    D
And I know, I know, I know
                     Em
You’ve got your battle plan mapped out in inches
       D
But I’m not scared of you
                    Em
I’m jumping right into these Brooklyn trenches


CHORUS:
     D
This is war
        Em
My fingers are sore
       D
I might be a masochist
         G
Just asking for more
               D
Cause this stage is like a standoff
          Em
And you’re pretty tough
         D
I’m bruised and bloody
          G
BUT I’LL NEVER GIVE UP!
      D
This is a battle
       Em
You are the prize
        D
Put down that piano
        G
And come to my side
          D
We’ll sing songs together
        Em
I’ll hold your hand
           D
Make perfect-pitched babies
      G   D G   D G
And form a band


VERSE:
D
I don’t really want,
                Em
I don’t really wanna fight no more
   D
I’m sweating in the sun
               Em
Camped out with ammo at your door

Uh-oor, uh-oor, uh-oor, oh
D
I don’t really want,
                Em
I don’t really wanna fight no more
    D
I just can’t be beat

So I will stand the heat
                Em
Until your love, your love is sure

Baby, this is war


OUTRO:
D         Em
 BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
        D
POW! POW! POW! POW!
         Em
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
        D
POW! POW! POW! POW!
         Em
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
        D
POW! POW! POW! POW!
         Em
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
