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

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

Interlude:
    Em

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


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


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


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


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

Interlude C, Em, Am, D:

 Bridge:
  Em        C       Am
  (I can't take it back)
 Em                                                      Em
 All the years that we spent together have come to an end

 Em      C         D
 (Regret is all I had)
 Em                                             Em
 Not sure I would if I could do it all over again

 Em       C        Am
 (I can't take it back)
 Em                                                 Em
 The memories, the pictures, I love you's will wither

Em       C        D
(Regret is all I had)
Em                                            D
 But this is the last song I'll write about you

 Em
 Forget my name
              C
 Forget my face
                           D
 It was all just empty space
 Am                            Em
 Deadweight; no longer part of me
