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
