Taylor Swift – The Great War

|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
