[Intro] Em D [Verse 1]
Em                                           G  D
    This used to be a ghost town but even the ghosts got out

                      C
And the sound of the highway died

                      D                   
There's ashes in the swimming pool

Em                                                               D
     I saw you on your wedding night and I watched you sleeping in my arms

                      C
You didn't wash your makeup off

                         D
And you woke up looking scared as hell
[Chorus]
    Em                                        G  D
My love won't change, my love won't change, my love won't change a thing

                       C
You're never coming back to me

                        D
You're never coming back at all

         C                                   B7
And the waiter made a young girl cry at the table next to mine tonight

      Em                    D                 Am
And I know you would have brought him to his knees

              C
But you're overseas
[Break] Em D [Verse 2]
Em                                                   G   D
     Doesn't seem so long ago we thought that we could change their minds

                     C
We'd stay here and fight it out

                             D
With a love that we could weaponize

Em                                                           D
     But I saw you losing faith and I was watching when the light went out

                  C
You know what revolution means

                            D
And you know it's not an option now
[Chorus]
        Em                                          D
And our love won't change, our love won't change,  our love won't change a thing

                       C                             D
I couldn't leave my father here, to finish up his life alone.

      C                                   B7
And I saw you in our daughter's eyes last night when she caught me in a lie

      Em                    D                Am
And I need you here to make both of us believe

              C
But you're overseas
[Solo] Em D x3 C D Em D C D
C                                   B7
Does your heart rest easy where you are

                              Em
And do they treat you like a star

            D           Am
And do they call you refugee

       C
From overseas
[Outro] Em D x5 Em
