F#m     E     D    C#
F#m

[Verse 1]
[tab]                 F#m
[tab]    D              A            F#m
Surrounded by the ruins of the love we built

      D               A
And then destroyed between us

     F#m
The smoke has cleared

       D                  A
As I stumble through the rubble

    F#m            D
I'm dazed, seeing double

                    A
And I'm truly mystified
[Chorus 1]
        A         C#
My new home is a shell hole filled

      F#m             D
With tears and muddy water

    F#m
And bits of broken heart

      A              C#
All around there is desolation

      D             A
And scenes of devastation

      C#
Of a love been torn apart

            F#m         E   D
I live on a battlefield

C#             F#m             E     D     C#
I live on a battlefield
[Verse 2]
                  F#m
I live on a battlefield

     D                 A
The one where not one single drop of

F#m
blood has spilled

   D             A
Is no less horrifying

  F#m
Sweet, sweet memories

      D         A
Of a bygone situation

    F#m                 D
Now shattered lord and battered

                    A
Lie scattered all around
[Chorus 2]
        A         C#
My new home is a shell hole filled

     F#m              D
With tears and muddy water

    F#m
And bits of broken heart

      A             C#
All around there is desolation

      D             A
And scenes of devastation

      C#
Of a love been torn apart

            F#m         E     D
I live on a battlefield

C#          F#m
I live on a battlefield
[Bridge]
E      A              D
Everything that can has gone wrong

A                   C#
(I live on a battlefield)

     F#m                  D
It's gonna take spine to carry on

A                   C#
(I live on a battlefield)

        F#m                D
Like a drowning man coming up for air

A                   C#
(I live on a battlefield)

    F#m                     D
I'm looking for another survivor

             A          C#
But I can't see one anywhere
[Chorus 3]
       F#m       D
My new home is  filled

            A
With muddy water

     F#m
All around

         D              A
There's bits of broken heart

   F#m
My world, my world

            D          A
Well, it's one of desolation

     D            A
And seems a devastation

      D           A
There is no consolation

         C#
For the love been torn apart

            F#m         E     D
I live on a battlefield

C#          F#m               E    D
I live on a battlefield, baby

C#m         F#m                     E    D    C#
I live on a battlefield, battlefield

            F#m         E      D
I live on a battlefield
E D F#m
