capo 3

[VERSE 1]

D                                 Em                    G
My knuckles were bruised like violets
                                 D                                         D
Suckerpunching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked
                             Em                G
Spineless in my tomb of silence
                                 D                                            D
Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
                              Em                 G
And maybe it was egos swinging
                           D
Maybe, it was her
D                      Em                                          G   D
Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur

[CHORUS]

               C
All that blood shed, crimson clover
     G
Uhuh, sweet dream was over
       Em                                               D
My hand was the one you reached for
                                         C
All throughout the Great War
                                 G
Always remember uhuh, tears on the lett?r
     Em                                  D
I vowed not to cry anymore
                                            D
If we survived th? Great War

[VERSE 2]

                               Em                        G
You drew up some good faith treaties
                            D                                         D
I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
                              Em                      G
You said I have to trust more freely
                      D                                            D
But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire
                               Em                        G
And maybe it's the past that's talking
                              D
Screaming from a crypt
D                        Em                                              G
Telling me to punish you for things you never did
D
So I justified it

[CHORUS]

               C
All that blood shed, crimson clover
    G
Uhuh, the bombs were close and
       Em                                                D
My hand was the one you reached for
                                          C
All throughout the Great War
                                G
Always remember uhuh, the burning embers
     Em                                     D
I vowed not to fight anymore
                                             C
If we survived th? Great War

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

C       G            Em   D
Uh-huh Uh-huh

[BRIDGE]

Am                   G
It turned into something bigger
Em                          D                                            Am
Somewhere in the haze got a sense I've been betrayed
                               G
Your finger on my hair pin triggers
Em                                                            D                                              Am
Soldier down on that icy ground, looked up at me with honour and truth
                    G                                     Em
Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
                      D                        Am
That was the night I nearly lost you
G                          Em        D
I really thought I lost you

[VERSE 3]

D                         Em                  G
We can plant a memory garden
                       D                                           D
Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
                                   Em                                      G
There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair
         D
And we will never go back

[CHORUS]

                 C
To that blood shed, crimson clover
   G
Uhuh, the worst was over
       Em                                                D
My hand was the one you reached for
                                         C
All throughout the Great War
                                   G
Always remember uhuh, we're burned for better
     Em                                      D
I vowed I would always be yours
                                                  C
Cause we survived th? Great War
G           Em
Uhuh, uhuh
                           D
I will always be yours
                                        C
'Cause we survived the Great War
G
Uhuh
    Em                                 D
I vowed I will always be yours
