How You Survived The War by The Weepies

Chords with lyrics

Note: I was a little stumped by the "You give up like every time before" line so
I tried my best and heard a Chord diagramDadd9Dadd9
but I could be horribly wrong. Anyways enjoy this beyond awesome song!!!

Intro: (keyboard fades in on Chord diagramAsusAsus)

Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2 Chord diagramAsus4Asus4 Dsus2/G Chord diagramAsus4Asus4 x2

Verse:
Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2   Chord diagramAsus4Asus4       Dsus2/G    Chord diagramAsus4Asus4
You never change your mind once it's made up
Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2     Dsus4/G       Chord diagramAsus4Asus4  Asus4/C#
Unless it's to crawl back on your knees

Chorus:
    Dsus2/G   Chord diagramAsus4Asus4
Is that the way you want it?
  Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2      Chord diagramAsus4Asus4
You get back to the wall
       Dsus2/G
And put your hands up
    Chord diagramAsus4Asus4
It's a holdup
Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2    Chord diagramDadd9Dadd9      Chord diagramAsus4Asus4
You give up like every time before
Dsus2/G   Chord diagramAsus4Asus4      Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2
That is how you survived the war

Interlude: Chord diagramDadd9Dadd9 Dsus2/G Chord diagramAsus4Asus4 Asus4 x2

Verse(same progression):
You never multiply, all these divisions
You give yourself the least of parts
I put on my green felt hat, pack our privisions
Playing a merry Prince of Thieves

Chorus(same progression):
Is that the way you want it?
You get back to the wall
And put your hands up
It's a holdup
You give up like every time before
That is how you survived the war

Interlude: Chord diagramDadd9Dadd9 Dsus2/G Chord diagramAsus4Asus4 Asus4 x2 (kind of hold out I think on Chord diagramAsus4Asus4 as you
go into the next part)

Bridge:
Chord diagramDadd9Dadd9      Dsus2/G  Chord diagramAsus4Asus4 Chord diagramAsus2Asus2
You're not gonna lose this one
Chord diagramDadd9Dadd9      Dsus2/G  Chord diagramAsus4Asus4 Chord diagramAsus2Asus2
You don't have to cut and run
Chord diagramDadd9Dadd9      Dsus2/G  Chord diagramAsus4Asus4 Chord diagramAsus2Asus2
I think you can choose to love and what is more
Dsus2/G   Chord diagramAsus4Asus4      Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2
That is how you survived the war

Verse:
Now in a summer's day, spring a ripened plum
How will you live under the sun?
You follow the open road, remembering the guns
When you get lost under the trees

Chorus:
Is that the way you want it?
You get back to the wall
And put your hands up
It's a holdup
You give up like every time before
That is how you survived the war

Dsus2/G   Chord diagramAsus4Asus4      Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2
That is how you survived the war

Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2   Chord diagramAsus4Asus4       Dsus2/G    Chord diagramAsus4Asus4
You never change your mind once it's made up
