[Intro] Bm F#5 G5 (4x) [Verse 1]
D5                                Bm C5
All is fair in love, and we're in love

         D5                               Bm C5
Now that everybody's dead, we can finally talk

D5                         Bm C5
Can vanity and happiness coexist?

        D5                                          Bm C5
All the lovers we've taken in direct view of the enemy

D5                                              Bm C5
And we shift each other's body to accept the bullet
[Chorus 1]
       Bm        F#5  G5       Bm           F#5 G5
And continue the pleasure, the treasures of battle

     A#5
It's only for the wounded, the purple-hearted
[Verse 2]
D5                                   Bm C5
Why must you try to ruin my peace of mind?

D5                                         Bm C5
And they were only words and I never meant them
[Chorus 2]
  Bm    F#    G         Bm    F#  G
I never loved you, even in my weakness

         A#
You were fuel for the fire, cannon fodder
[Interlude] Bm F#5 G5 (4x) [Verse 3]
                D5                                   Bm C5
When my grandpa drank, he fell and broke his face in two

         D5                                                 Bm C5
When the cops arrived, he exclaimed, "I fought in World War II!"

              D5                                 Bm C5
And then they carried him to a darkened hospital room

           D5                              Bm C5
And said, "No modern person here remembers you"
[Chorus 3]
        Bm             F#5 G5
"And we can't identify the enemy

       Bm               F#5  G5
And it could be you, so it'll cost you"

       A#5
"It already cost me my wife and my job, now what?"
[Verse 4]
        D5                             Bm C5
When my mom and I went to identify the body

D5                           Bm C5
And I wanted to see it, but she wouldn't let me

         D5                    Bm C5
I had to wait for the military cemetery

         D5                                     Bm C5
And when we got there, this is what she said to me:
[Chorus 4]
D5                               Bm C5
"Love and war, in heaven, and in hell

    D5                                        Bm C5
You get what you deserve, you better spend it well

D5                              Bm C5
All is fair in love and war and love

  D5                                   Bm     C5 Bm F#5 G5
A civil war like this, it always sells itself"
