My knuckles were [Em]bruised like violets
[G]...Sucker punching [D]walls cursed you as I sleep talked
Spineless in my [Em]tomb of silence
[G]...Tore your banners [D]down took the battle underground
And maybe it was [Em]egos swinging [G]...Maybe it was [D]her
Flashes of the [Em]battle come back to me in a [G]blur [D]
All that [C]bloodshed crimson clover Uh [G]huh, sweet dream was over
My [Em]hand was the one you reached [D]for all throughout the Great [C]War
Always remember, uh [G]huhtears on the letter
I [Em]vowed not to cry any[D]more If we survived the Great [C]War [G]
You drew up some [Em]good faith treaties
[G]I drew curtains [D]closed drank my poison all alone
You said I have to [Em]trust more freely
[G]But diesel is de[D]sire you were playing with fire
And maybe it’s the [Em]past that’s talking [G]...Screaming from the [D]crypt
Telling me to [Em]punish you for things you never [G]did [D]so I justified it
All that [C]bloodshed crimson clover Uh [G]huh, the bomb was close and
My [Em]hand was the one you reached [D]for all throughout the Great [C]War
Always remember, uh [G]huh the burning embers
I [Em]vowed not to fight any[D]more If we survived the Great [C]War [G]
Uh [Em]huh, uh [G]huh [D]
[Am]...It turned into [G]something bigger
[Em]Somewhere in the [D]haze got a sense I’d been betrayed
[Am]...Your finger on my [G]hairpin triggers
[Em]Soldier down On that icy ground Looked [D]up at me with honor and [Em]truth
Broken and [G]blue so I called off the [Em]troops
That was the [D]night I nearly [Am]lost you
[G]I really thought I’d [Em]lost you [D]
We can plant a [Em]memory garden [G]...say a solemn [D]prayer place a poppy in my hair
There’s no morning [Em]glory It was war it wasn’t [G]fair
And [D]we will never go back to that
[C]bloodshed crimson clover Uh [G]huh, the worst was over
My [Em]hand was the one you reached [D]for all throughout the Great [C]War
Always remember, uh [G]huh we'ew burned for better
I [Em]vowed I'd always be yours [D] If we survived the Great [C]War [G]
Uh [Em]huh, I will always be [D]yours Cause we survived the Great [C]War
Uh [G]huh uh [Em]huh I [D]vowed I will always be yours
