[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 lettеr

     Em                     D
  I vowed not to cry anymore

                              D
  If we survived thе Great War
Am Em G D [Verse 1]
Am              Em
If you would've blinked then I would've

G       D
Looked away at the first glance

Am            Em
If you tasted poison, you could've

G       D
Spit me out at the first chance

Am               Em
And if I was some paint, did it splatter

G    D
On a promising grown man?

Am             Em
And if I was a child did it matter

G      D
If you got to wash your hands?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am   Em   G    D
Ooh, ooh, ooh, all I used to do was pray

Am                  G
Would've, could've, should've

D
If you'd never looked my way
[Chorus]
                  G     D
I would've stayed on my knees

      Am                       C
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil

G      D
At nineteen

        Am                             C
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven

G                D                    Am
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts

         C
Memories feel like weapons

G              D                  Am      C
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
[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 thе 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
[Bridge]
    G
God rest my soul

  D
I miss who I used to be

    Am
The tomb won't close

C                           G
Stained glass windows in my mind

D             Am        C
I regret you all the time

        G
I can't let this go

  D
I fight with you in my sleep

    Am
The wound won't close

  C                  G
I keep on waiting for a sign

D            Am         C
I regret you all the time
[Verse 3]
   Em           D               C
If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?

Em           D               C
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I

G             D                 Am             C
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts

G                D           Am        C   G   D
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first
[Chorus]
      Am                       C
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil

G      D
At nineteen

        Am                             C
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven

G                D                    Am
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts

         C
Memories feel like weapons

G              D                  Am      C
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
[Chorus]
            C

[Outro]

D               Am      C
I regret you all the time

D               Am      C
But I survived the great war
