Meg & Dia - Fighting For Nothing Chords
**Didn't figure out the solo part though, sorry!

Capo 2


      C# minorC#m
When I was younger
                A augmentedA
I wish that I would have known better
              E MajorE
Better love makes a fat romance

That lasts for more than a shoe shine

  C# minorC#m
I’m older
             A augmentedA
Took all the words of my mother
          E MajorE
Saying it could be worse, could be born with that disease
 BB
Instead of catching it first

 C# minorC#m
So let’s go back
             A augmentedA
To the first time that I met you

In your Chevy,
     E MajorE
With your hands stretched and me crying, screaming
BB
“Mercy. Mercy.”

 C# minorC#m
But I know that I was put here
    A augmentedA
To fight Vikings in the cold war,
 E MajorE
with my arms out in the front lines, singing
 BB
“Dare me Dare me.”

But these things take time, love
       E MajorE
These things take backbone
      C# minorC#m
And they’ll tell you what you want to hear
           BB
'Cause they think it’s better, better
       E MajorE
But you better know how to point out the liars
 C# minorC#m
You’ve got to weigh your wars
                 BB
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing
           A augmentedA
Are you fighting for nothing, nothing?

         C# minorC#m
It feels like this world has
          A augmentedA
Been growing slowly upside down
           E MajorE
Maybe I should move to China and straighten this mess out
        C# minorC#m
Maybe I’ll be a poet
           A augmentedA
Watch all the sky for falling words
               E MajorE
And write about my grandma’s curtains
                BB
Or the lady who put the Chinese buffet in her purse

    C# minorC#m
I’ve got my mouth, It’s a weapon
   A augmentedA
It’s a bombshell, It’s a cannon
     E MajorE
I’ve got my words
          BB
I won’t give them, Mercy Mercy


         Asus2Asus2
Well these things take time, love
       E MajorE
These things take backbone
      C# minorC#m
And they’ll tell you what you want to hear
           BB
'Cause they think it’s better, better
       E MajorE
But you better know how to point out the liars
 C# minorC#m
You’ve got to weigh your wars
                 BB
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing
           A augmentedA
Are you fighting for nothing, nothing?


DURING SOLO:
BB 2x


   C# minorC#m (one strum each)
I’ve got my words
    A augmentedA
I hope they hurt you
     E MajorE
I hope they scar you
    BB
I hope they heal you


      C# minorC#m
I hope they cut you open, make you see you’ve been warring
 A augmentedA
For all the wrong reasons
Make you see that some things
E MajorE
Are worth bruising for
Make you see that your name
    BB
Is your honor code
Make you see that your hands
      C# minorC#m
You’re accounted for
Pick and choose where your sweat
     A augmentedA
And your blood will go
Make you see your life’s not
 E MajorE
To be lived alone

Run their spit through your hair
        BB
You’re worth nothing
 BB
Nothing


         Asus2Asus2
These things take time, love
       E MajorE
These things take backbone
      C# minorC#m
And they’ll tell you what you want to hear
           BB
'Cause they think it’s better, better
       E MajorE
But you better know how to point out the liars
 C# minorC#m
You’ve got to weigh your wars
                 BB
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing

       E MajorE
These things take backbone
      C# minorC#m
And they’ll tell you what you want to hear

'Cause they think it’s better, better
       E MajorE

You’ve got to weigh your wars
                 BB
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing
           A augmentedA
Are you fighting for nothing, nothing?
