[F] My [Gm] nipples were bruised like [Bb] violets
Sucker punching [F] walls cursed you as I sleep-talked
Spurned [Gm] this in my tomb of [Bb] silence
Tore your banners [F] down, put the battle underground
And maybe [Gm] it was ego swinging
[Bb] [Gm] Maybe it was [F] her
Flashes [Gm] of the battle come back to [Bb] me in a blur
[Gm] [F] All [Eb] that blood, shed, crimson [Bb] clover, uh-huh
Sweet dream was [Gm] over, my hand was the one you [F] reached for
All throughout the [Eb] great war, I'll always [Bb] remember, uh-huh
Dears, on the [Gm] letter I vow not to cry [F] anymore
If we survive the great war
You drew [Gm] up some good faith [Bb] treaties
I drew [F] curtains closed, drank my poison all along
You said I [Gm] have to trust more freely
[Bb] [Gm] But diesel [F] is desire, you were playing with fire
And maybe [Gm] it's the past that's talking
[Bb] [Gm] Screaming [F] from a crib
Telling [Gm] me to punish you for things you [Bb] never [Gm] did
[F] So I justified it
[Eb] All that blood, shed, crimson [Bb] clover, uh-huh
The bombs were [Gm] close in my hand, was the one you [F] reached for
All throughout the [Eb] great war, I'll always [Bb] remember, uh-huh
The burning [Gm] embers I vow not to fight [F] anymore
If we survive the [Eb] great war
[Bb] Uh-huh, [Gm] uh-huh
[F]
[Cm] It turned [Bb] into something bigger
[Gm] Somewhere [F] in the haze, not a sense I've [Cm] been betrayed
You finger [Bb] on my hair, damn straight, [Gm] guys
There's a soldier down on that [Eb] icy ground
[F] Looked up at me with honor [Cm] and truth
Broken [Bb] and blue
So I called out the [Gm] truth
That [F] was the night I nearly [Cm] lost you
[Bb] I really thought [Gm] I lost [F] you
We can [Gm] plant a memory garden
[Bb] Say a solemn [F] prayer, place a poppy in my hair
There's no [Gm] morning glory, it was war, it [Bb] wasn't fair
[F] We will never go back to [Eb] that blood, shed, crimson clover, [Bb] uh-huh
The worst was over [Gm] my head, was the one you reached [F] for
All throughout the [Eb] great war, I'll always remember, [Bb] uh-huh
If, but for better, [Gm] I vow I would always be [F] yours
If we survive the [Eb] great war
[Bb] Uh-huh, [Gm] uh-huh
I will always be [F] yours
If we survive the [Eb] great war
[Bb] Uh-huh, [Gm] uh-huh
I will always be [F] yours
