Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 3rd

Key: Bb majorBb


♫ Verse 1:

D MajorD           E minorEm       G+G
 My knuckles were bruised like violets
           D MajorD              D MajorD
 Suckerpunching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked
          E minorEm      G+G
 Spineless in my tomb of silence


            D MajorD             D MajorD
 Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
          E minorEm     G+G
 And maybe it was ego swinging
          D MajorD
 Maybe, it was her
D MajorD         E minorEm              G+G   D MajorD
 Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur

♫ Chorus:

      C majorC
 All that blood shed, crimson clover
   G+G
 Uhuh, sweet dream was over
   E minorEm               D MajorD
 My hand was the one you reached for
              C majorC
 All throughout the Great War
           G+G
 Always remember uhuh, tears on the lettеr
   E minorEm           D MajorD
 I vowed not to cry anymore
               D MajorD
 If we survived thе Great War


♫ Verse 2:

           E minorEm        G+G
 You drew up some good faith treaties
           D MajorD             D MajorD
 I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
            E minorEm       G+G
 You said I have to trust more freely
         D MajorD               D MajorD
 But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire
           E minorEm         G+G
 And maybe it's the past that's talking
           D MajorD
 Screaming from a crypt
D MajorD         E minorEm               G+G
 Telling me to punish you for things you never did
D MajorD
 So I justified it

♫ Chorus:

      C majorC
 All that blood shed, crimson clover
   G+G
 Uhuh, the bombs were close and
   E minorEm               D MajorD
 My hand was the one you reached for
              C majorC
 All throughout the Great War
           G+G
 Always remember uhuh, the burning embers
   E minorEm            D MajorD
 I vowed not to fight anymore
               C majorC
 If we survived thе Great War


INSTRUMENTAL ♫ Break:

C majorC   G+G    E minorEm  D MajorD
 Uh-huh Uh-huh


♫ Bridge:

A minorAm        G+G
 It turned into something bigger
E minorEm          D MajorD              A minorAm
 Somewhere in the haze got a sense I've been betrayed
           G+G
 Your finger on my hair pin triggers
 E minorEm                    D MajorD               A minorAm
 Hold you down on that icy ground, looked up at me with honour and truth
       G+G              E minorEm
 Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
        D MajorD         A minorAm
 That was the night I nearly lost you
G+G           E minorEm   D MajorD
 I really thought I lost you


♫ Verse 3:

D MajorD          E minorEm     G+G
  We can plant a memory garden
         D MajorD              D MajorD
 Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
            E minorEm              G+G
 There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair
   D MajorD
 And we will never go back


♫ Chorus:

      C majorC
 To that blood shed, crimson clover
   G+G
 Uhuh, the worst was over
   E minorEm               D MajorD
 My hand was the one you reached for
              C majorC
 All throughout the Great War
           G+G
 Always remember uhuh, we're burned for better
   E minorEm            D MajorD
 I vowed I would always be yours
                C majorC
 Cause we survived thе Great War
  G+G   E minorEm
 Uhuh, uhuh
           D MajorD
 I will always be yours
              C majorC
 'Cause we survived the Great War
  G+G
 Uhuh
   E minorEm            D MajorD
 I vowed I will always be yours
