Verse 1:
[G] [Am]Combat, I'm ready for [F]combat
I say I don't [G]want [Am]that, but what if I [F]do?
'Cause [G]cruelty[Am] wins in the [F]movies
I've got a[G] hundred
thrown-out [Am]speeches I almost [F]said to you
Pre-Chorus:
[C]Easy they come, easy they go
I [G]jump from the train, I ride off alone
I [Am]never grew up, it's getting so old
[F]Help me hold on to you
Chorus:
I've been the [C]archer, I've [G]been the [F]prey
Who could ever [Am]leave me, darling
But [G]who could [F]stay?
Verse 2:
[G]Dark [Am]side, I search for your [F]dark side
But what if I'm [G]alright, [Am]right, right, [F]right here?
And I [G]cut off[Am] my nose just to [F]spite my face
Then I hate my [G]reflection[Am] for years and [F]years
Pre-Chorus:
I [C]wake in the night, I pace like a ghost
The [G]room is on fire, invisible smoke
And [Am]all of my heroes die all alone
[F]Help me hold on to you
Chorus:
I've been the [C]archer, I've [G]been the [F]prey
Screaming, who could ever [Am]leave me, darling
But [G]who could [F]stay?
(I see right through me, I see right through me)
Bridge:
'Cause [C]they see right through me
[C]They see right through me
[G]They see right through
Can [G]you see right through me?
[Am]They see right through
[Am]They see right through me
[F]I see right through me
[F]I see right through me
Pre-Chorus:
[C]All the king's horses, all the king's men
[G]Couldn't put me together again
'Cause [Am]all of my enemies started out friends
[F]Help me hold on to you
Chorus:
I've been the [C]archer, I've [G]been the [F]prey
Who could ever [Am]leave me, darling
But [G]who could [F]stay?
(I see right through me, I see right through me)
Who [C]could stay?
[G]Who could [F]stay?
Who could [Am]stay?
[G]You could [F]stay
You could [C]stay... [G] [F]
Outro:
[Am]Combat, I'm [G]ready for [F]combat [C/G]
