[Gm] [F] [Eb] [D]
[Gm] [F] [Eb] [D]
[Gm] I live on a battlefield, [Eb] surrounded by [Bb] the ruins of [Gm] the lovely bill, [Eb] and then destroyed
[Bb] between us, [Gm] the smoke as clear, [Eb] as I stumble through [Bb] the rubble, [Gm] I'm a [Eb] daydreaming devil,
I'm a daydreaming devil, and I'm truly [Bb] mystified, my new home, [D] is a shell hole [G] filled with tears
[Eb] and a muddy water, [Gm] and bits of broken heart, all [Bb] around, there [D] is desolation, [Eb] and the scenes
of a [Bb] devastation, of [D] a love been torn apart, [Gm] I live on a battlefield, [Eb] [D] I [F] live on [G] a battlefield,
[Gm] [Eb] [D] I live [Gm] on a battlefield, [Eb] though one way, not [Bb] one single drop [Gm] of a blood has spilled,
[Eb] is no less [Bb] horrifying, [Gm] sweet memories, memories, [Eb] of a bygone [Bb] situation, [Gm] now shattered,
[Eb] loaded and battered, lies scattered [Bb] all around, my new home, [D] is a [Gb] shell hole filled [Gm] with tears and
[Eb] muddy water, [Gm] it's in the bits of broken heart, [Bb] all around, [Gbm] there is [Gb] desolation, [Eb] and the scenes
of a [Bb] devastation, [D] of a love been torn apart, I [Gm] live on a battlefield, [Eb] [D] I [G] live on a battlefield,
[Gm] [Eb] [Gb] I [G] live on a battlefield, [Bb]
everything that [Eb] can has gone [Bb] wrong, I live on [D] a battlefield,
[Gm] it's gonna take [Eb] spine to carry [Bb] on, I live on [D] a battlefield, [G] like a drowning [Eb] man coming up for [Bb] air,
I live on a [D] battlefield, [G] I'm looking for [Eb] another survivor, [Bb] but I can't see one [D] anywhere, [Gm] my new home,
[Eb] is filled with [Bb] muddy water, [Gm] all around, all around, [Eb] there's bits of [Bb] broken heart, [Gm] my world,
well, [Eb] one of a [Bb] desolation, [Eb] and the scenes of a [Bb] devastation, [Eb] there is no [Bb] consolation,
[D] for a love been torn apart, I live [G] on a battlefield, [Gm] [Eb]
[D] I [Bb] live [Gm] on a battlefield,
[Dm] [Eb]
[Gm] I live on a battlefield, battlefield, [Eb]
[D] I live [G] on a battlefield,
[Bb] [Eb] [Gm]
