Fighting for Nothing Chords by Meg & Dia

[C#] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] When I was younger, I wish that [F#] I would have known better
Better love makes a fat romance last for more than a short time
I'm older, took all the words of my mother
Saying [B] it could be worse, could be born with that disease
Instead [F#] of catching it first
So let's go back to the first [A#m] time
In your Chevy, [B] with your hands dressed
And me crying, [C#] screaming
Mercy, mercy
[F#] But I know that I was put [A#m] here
To fight Vikings in a cold [B] war
Arms down in front
[C#] Singing, dare me, dare me
[B] But these things take time, love
[F#] These things take backbone
_ [A#m] They'll tell you what you [C#] want to hear
Cause they can get better, better
[B] But you better know how
[F#] To point out the lies
_ [A#m] You get to where you want to be
But you're [C#] not fighting for nothing
Nothing, I [B] ain't fighting for nothing Nothing _
Feels [D#m] like this world has been growing [B] slowly upside down
Maybe I should move to China
And straighten [D#m] this mess out
Watch all [B] the cypher falling words
And write about my grandma's curtains
Or the lady who put the Chinese buffet in her [G#m] purse
[D#m] I've got my mouth, it's a weapon
[A#m] It's a bombshell, it's a cannon
[B] I've got words that won't [C#] give them
Mercy, mercy
[B] But these things take time, love
[F#] These things take backbone
_ [A#m]
They'll tell you what you [C#] want to hear
Cause they can get better
_ [B] But you better know how
[F#] To point out the lies
_ [D#]
[A#m] You get to where you want to be
But you're not [C#] fighting for nothing
Nothing, I [B] ain't fighting for nothing Nothing

_ [F#] Hope they hurt you
[Bm]
They scar [E] you
I hope [D#m] they heal [E] [D#] you
I hope they cut you [D#m] open
Make you see you've been warned
For all the wrong reasons
Make you see there's some [A#] things that we're bringing [B] for
Make you see that your [C#] name is your honor [F#] code
Make you see that your [D#m] hands you're accounted for
Make you choose where to [C#m] sweat and go
Blood will go where you see your [B] rights not to be
Lived alone from the spit of [C#] the hammer
With nothing, [B] nothing
These things take time, love
[F#] These things take backbone
[D#m] They'll tell you what you want to hear
Cause [C#] they can get better
But [B] you better know how
[F#] To point out the lies
[A#m] You get to where you want to be
But you're not [C#] fighting for nothing
Nothing

They'll tell you what you want to hear
[C#] Cause they can get better
Better, but [B] you better know

[D#m] You get to where you want to be
But you're not [C#] fighting for nothing
[C#m] Nothing, I ain't [B] fighting for nothing Nothing _ _ _ _ _
