|F |Gm |Bb |F | My knuckles were bruised like violets, sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep |F |Gm |Bb |F | talked, spineless in my tomb of silence, ore your banners down, took the battle |F |Gm |Bb Gm |F | underground, and maybe it was egos swinging, maybe it was her |F |Gm |Bb Gm |F | Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur |Eb |Bb | All that bloodshed, crimson clover, uh huh, sweet dream was over |Gm |F | My hand was the one you reached for |Eb |Bb | All throughout the Great War, always remember, uh huh, tears on the letter |Gm |F | I vowed not to cry anymore, if we survived the Great |F |Gm |Bb |F | War, you drew up some good faith treaties, I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all |F |Gm |Bb |F | alone, you said I have to trust more freely, but diesel is desire, you were playing with |F |Gm |Bb Gm |F | fire, and maybe it’s the past that’s talking, screaming from the crypt |F |Gm |Bb Gm |F | Telling me to punish you for things you never did, so I justified it |Eb |Bb | All that bloodshed, crimson clover, uh huh, sweet dream was over |Gm |F | My hand was the one you reached for |Eb |Bb | All throughout the Great War, always remember, uh huh, the burning embers |Gm |F | I vowed not to fight anymore, if we survived the Great |Eb |Bb |Gm |F | War, uh huh, uh huh |Cm |Bb |Gm |F | It turned into something bigger, somewhere in the haze |Cm |Bb | Got a sense I’d been betrayed, your finger on my hairpin triggers |Gm |F | Soldier down, on that icy ground, looked up at me with honor and |Cm |Bb |Gm |F | truth, broken and blue, so I called off the troops, that was the night I nearly |Cm |Bb |Gm |F |F | lost you, I really thought I’d lost you |F |Gm |Bb |F | We can plant a memory garden, say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my |F |Gm |Bb Gm |F | hair, there’s no morning glory, it was war it wasn’t fair, and we will never go back to that |Eb |Bb |Gm |F | Bloodshed, crimson clover, uh huh, the worst was over, my hand was the one you reached for |Eb |Bb | All throughout the Great War, always remember, uh huh, we’re burned for better |Gm |F | I vowed I would always be yours |Eb |Bb |Gm |F | Cause we survived the Great War, uh huh, uh huh, I will always be yours |Eb |Bb |Gm |F |F | Cause we survived the Great War, uh huh, I vowed I will always be yours
