Why continue [Db] to push and pull and [Eb] punish each other
when it'd be [Db] so much easier [Eb]
to just find [Ab] another lover?

They won't make [Fm] it no better.
And maybe [Db] someday, some other time, we'll try [Eb] this again.
Maybe someday [Db] these flaming hearts [Eb] will learn how to be [Ab] friends.
But right now, put up a flag and [Db]
lay down [Ab] your weapon.
