D                Em                  G
My knuckles were bruised like violets
                 D                                 D
Sucker punching 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
                Em                          G    D
Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur

          C
All that bloodshed, crimson clover
    G
Uh-huh, sweet dream was over
    Em                           D
My hand was the one you reached for
                          C
All throughout the Great War
                 
Always remember
   G
Uh-huh, tears on the letter
   Em                  D
I vowed not to cry anymore
                          D
If we survived the Great War

                  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 playin' with fire
                    Em                G
And maybe it's the past that's talking
                     D
Screamin' from the crypt
D               Em                             G
Tellin' me to punish you for things you never did
D
So I justified it

          C
All that bloodshed, crimson clover
    G
Uh-huh, the bombs were close and
    Em                           D
My hand was the one you reached for
                          C
All throughout the Great War

Always remember
    G
Uh-huh, the burning embers
   Em                    D
I vowed not to fight anymore
                          C
If we survived the Great War

C    G
Uh-huh
Em   D
Uh-huh

Am              G
It turned into something bigger
Em                D                            Am
Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I'd been betrayed
                  G
Your finger on my hair pin triggers
Em
Soldier down on that icy ground
       D                             Am
Looked up at me with honor 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

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

          C
To that bloodshed, crimson clover
    G
Uh-huh, the worst was over
    Em                           D
My hand was the one you reached for
                          C
All throughout the Great War

Always remember
    G
Uh-huh, we're burned for better
   Em                       D
I vowed I would always be yours
                             C
'Cause we survived the Great War

    G
Uh-huh
    Em
Uh-huh
                    D
I would always be yours
                              C
'Cause we survived the Great War
    G
Uh-huh
   Em                       D
I vowed I would always be yours
