Poets of the Fall – War (Guitar Acoustic)

Em                            D      C
Do you remember standing on a broken field

Em                            D      Am
White crippled wings beating the sky

Em                            D      C
The harbingers of war with their nature revealed

Em                            D      Am
And our chances flowing by

D                       Am
If I can let the memory heal

D                       C
I will remember you with me on that field

Em                    Am          G
When I thought that I fought this war alone

Em                    Am          Bm
You were there by my side on the front line

Em                    Am          G  D    Em
When I thought that I fought without a cause

              D         Em
You gave me a reason to try

Em                            D      C
Turn the page I need to see something new

Em                            D      Am
For now my innocence is torn

Em                            D      C
We cannot linger on this stunted view

Em                            D      Am
Like rabid dogs of war

D                       Am
I will let the memory heal

D                       C
I'll remember you with me on that field

Em                    Am          G
When I thought that I fought this war alone

Em                    Am          Bm
You were there by my side on the front line

Em                    Am          G  D    Bm
And we fought to believe the impossible

Em                    D      C
When I thought that I fought this war alone

Em                    Am          Bm
We were one with our destinies entwined

Em                    Am          G
When I thought that I fought without a cause

Em                    Am
You gave me the reason why

D           C             Bm
With no-one wearing their real face

A#                 Dm
It's a whiteout of emotion

C                    A#                         A
And I've only got my brittle bones to break the fall

D             C          Bm
When the love in letters fade

A#                  Dm
It's like moving in slow motion

C                    A#                         A
And we're already too late if we arrive at all

G               F                Em
And then we're caught up in the arms race

G               F
An involuntary addiction

F                                  Dm
And we're shedding every value our mothers taught

F             C
So will you please show me your real face

F             Gm
Draw the line in the horizon

F                                        D                 C
'Cause I only need your name to call the reasons why I fought

Em                    Am          G
When I thought that I fought this war alone

Em                    Am          Bm
You were there by my side on the front line

Em                    Am          G  D    Em
And we fought to believe the impossible

Em                    D      C
When I thought that I fought this war alone

Em                    Am          Bm
We were one with our destinies entwined

Em                    Am          G
When I thought that I fought without a cause

            D         Em
You gave me the reason why
