I'm on my sixth Civil War documentary

And I can't take any more US history

Is it the Adderall or what your leaving did to me

If we, if we were

1865, two states north of the Mason-Dixon line
E                       A
Would you love me in a different time
            Em                     Em
would you return from war to pick more fights
E                   A
If I wrote four years of letters

hoping you weren't gone forever

I read an article on women in '43

They left their fears at the door of the factory
E                 A             Em            Em
I heard the interviews from widows of Normandy

   Em          Em
If we, if we were

1945 And we've just turned that one last flag to white
E                       A
Praise God that you're still alive
            Em                   Em
would you return from war to pick more fights
E                   A
If I wrote four years of letters
Em                  Em
hoping you weren't gone forever
E               A
Would we grow old together

Would you treat me better

Verse 4:
A
Delusion, insanity, lost love
A
Life isn't a period drama
E
The end was the bloodshed, the trauma, the hardship
E
The end was enclosed in a casket
A
At the hand, break the bones of another man
A
At the foot of a God and his ugly plans
E
So obsessed with the past out of selfishness

Verse 5:
    Em          Em
If we, if we were
E   A             Em                    Em
1945, so convinced there's still a winning side
E                       A
Wouldn't love me in a different time
        Em                    Em
You'd return from war to pick more fights
E                 A
One hundred years of letters
Em               Em
War still rages on forever
E               A
So human, so untethered

Outro:
Em                         E  A
You won't treat me better
Em                   Em      E  A
You can't treat me better?
Em                         E  A  Em  Em
Would you treat me better
E               A
Would we grow old together
Em
Would you treat me better
