WAGE WAR – Johnny Cash
CAPO 1
Strumming down down down down down

Intro:
E minorEm         C majorC       D MajorD
 Let me tell you the saddest story
E minorEm       C majorC        D MajorD
 Love lost, left broken and empty
E minorEm         C majorC        D MajorD
 Put my heart in the hands of another
E minorEm        C majorC    D MajorD       E minorEm
 Set a fire to the past and watched me burn

Interlude:
  E minorEm

 Verse 1:
E minorEm          C majorC        D MajorD
 Somehow I guess it's better this way
E minorEm          C majorC          D MajorD
 Looking back, was it all just a mistake?
E minorEm             C majorC        D MajorD
 Thought I could live in the arms of another
E minorEm      C majorC   D MajorD       E minorEm
 But I guess I wasn't enough for her

 Chorus 1:
E minorEm               C majorC      E minorEm
 I wanna feel the love you can't live without
E minorEm                   D MajorD     E minorEm
 The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about
E minorEm             C majorC     E minorEm
 But I gave it all away for no return
E minorEm                    D MajorD       E minorEm
 Guess it's just another lesson that I'll never learn


 Verse 2:
E minorEm         C majorC            D MajorD
 I've been putting myself through your Hell
E minorEm             C majorC          D MajorD
 Holding on to things that don't even matter now
E minorEm             C majorC        D MajorD
 You found your place in the arms of another
E minorEm             C majorC            D MajorD
 But now I see it's just the way the Earth will turn

 Chorus 2:
E minorEm               C majorC      E minorEm
 I wanna feel the love you can't live without
E minorEm                   D MajorD     E minorEm
 The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about
E minorEm             C majorC     E minorEm
 But I gave it all away for no return
E minorEm                    D MajorD       E minorEm
 Guess it's just another lesson that I'll never learn


E minorEm                C majorC           E minorEm
 Can't seem to fill the void that lives in my chest
E minorEm                     D MajorD     E minorEm
 Thought I was what you need, but I'm just second best
E minorEm             C majorC       E minorEm
 I'll never give it all away again I swear
E minorEm                        D MajorD
 Don't even look for a heart, you'll find there's nothing
E minorEm
there

Interlude C, Em, Am, D:

 Bridge:
 E minorEm    C majorC    A minorAm
 (I can't take it back)
 E minorEm                           E minorEm
 All the years that we spent together have come to an end

 E minorEm   C majorC     D MajorD
 (Regret is all I had)
 E minorEm                       E minorEm
 Not sure I would if I could do it all over again

 E minorEm    C majorC    A minorAm
 (I can't take it back)
 E minorEm                         E minorEm
 The memories, the pictures, I love you's will wither

E minorEm    C majorC    D MajorD
(Regret is all I had)
E minorEm                      D MajorD
 But this is the last song I'll write about you

 E minorEm
 Forget my name
       C majorC
 Forget my face
              D MajorD
 It was all just empty space
 A minorAm              E minorEm
 Deadweight; no longer part of me
