[Em]Hope the wound heals but it never does [C]
That's cause you're at war with love [G]
You're at war with love [D], yeah
Chorus:
These battle [Em]scars don't look like they're fading [C]
Don't look like they're ever going a [G]way
They ain't never gonna [D]change
These battle...
Verse:
[Em] Never let a wound ruin me [C]
But I feel like ruin's wooing me [G]
Arrow holes, they never close from Cupid on a shooting [D]spree
Feeling stupid cause I know it ain't no you and me [Em]
But when you're trying to beat the odds up
Been [C]trying to keep your nods up
And you know that you should know [G]
And let her go
But the fear of the unknown
Hold a [D]nother lover strong
Sends you back into the zone [Em]
With no Tom Hanks to bring you home,
a [C]lover not a fighter
On the front line with a poem [G],
Trying to write yourself a rifle
Maybe sharpen up a [D]stone
To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone
Pre-Chorus:
I wish I never [Em]looked, I wish I never touched
I wish that I could [C]stop loving you so much
Cause I'm the only [G]one that's trying to keep us together
When all of the [D]signs say that I should forget her
I wish you weren't the [Em]best, the best I ever had
I wish that the [C]good outweighed the bad
Cause it'll never be [G]over, until you tell me it's o [D]ver
Chorus:
These battle [Em]scars don't look like they're fading [C]
Don't look like they're ever going a [G]way
They ain't never gonna [D]change
These battle [Em]scars don't look like they're fading [C]
Don't look like they're ever going a [G]way
They ain't never gonna [D]change
These battle...
Verse:
[Em] You shouldn't have but you said it [C]
It shouldn't have happened but you let it [G]
Now you're down on the ground screaming medic
The [D]only thing that comes is the post-traumatic stresses
[Em] Shields, body armors and vests don't [C]properly work
That's why you're in a locker full of hurt
The [G]enemy within and all the fires from your friends
The [D]best medicine's to probably just let it win
Pre-Chorus:
I wish I couldn't [Em]feel, I wish I couldn't love
I wish that I could [C]stop cause it hurts so much
And I'm the only [G]one that's trying to keep us together
When all of the [D]signs say that I should forget her
I wish you weren't the [Em]best, the best I ever had
I wish that the [C]good outweighed the bad
Cause it'll never be [G]over, until you tell me it's o [D]ver
Chorus:
These battle [Em]scars don't look like they're fading [C]
Don't look like they're ever going a [G]way
They ain't never gonna [D]change
These battle [Em]scars don't look like they're fading [C]
Don't look like they're ever going a [G]way
They ain't never gonna [D]change
These battle...
Bridge:
[Am] Cause you set me on fire [Em]
I've never felt so alive, yeah [G]
No, hoping wounds heal, but it never does
[D]That's because you're at war with l [Am]ove
And I'm at the point of breaking [Em]
And it's impossible to shake [D]it -yeah-
See, [Am]you hoped the wound heals, but it never does
[Em] That's cause you're at war with [G]love
Hope it heals, but it never does [D]
That's cause you're at war with love!
Chorus:
These battle [Em]scars don't look like they're fading [C]
Don't look like they're ever going a [G]way
I ain't ever gonna [D]change
These battle [Em]scars don't look like they're fading [C]
Don't look like they're ever going a [G]way
They ain't never gonna [D]change
These battle [Em]scars don't look like they're fading [C]
Don't look like they're ever going a [G]way
I ain't ever gonna [D]change
These battle [Em]...
