Chords

[Intro] C [Verse 1]
G     Am               F
Combat, I'm ready for combat

              G        Am               F
I say I don't want that, but what if I do?

       G      Am            F
'Cause cruelty wins in the movies

          G                   Am                 F
I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you
[Pre-Chorus]
 C
Easy they come, easy they go

   G
I jump from the train, I ride off alone

   Am
I never grew up, it's getting so old

 F
Help me hold on to you
[Chorus]
              C            G         F
I've been the archer, I've been the prey

               Am
Who could ever leave me, darling

    G          F
But who could stay?
[Verse 2]
G        Am                   F
Dark side, I search for your dark side

                G         Am            F
But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here?

      G      Am                F
And I cut off my nose just to spite my face

                  G      Am              F
Then I hate my reflection for years and years
[Pre-Chorus]
   C
I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost

     G
The room is on fire, invisible smoke

     Am
And all of my heroes die all alone

 F
Help me hold on to you
[Chorus]
              C            G         F
I've been the archer, I've been the prey

                          Am
Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling

    G          F
But who could stay?
(I see right through me, I see right through me) [Bridge]
        C
'Cause they see right through me

 C
They see right through me

 G
They see right through

     G
Can you see right through me?

 Am
They see right through

 Am
They see right through me

F
I see right through me

F
I see right through me
[Pre-Chorus]
 C
All the king's horses, all the king's men

 G
Couldn't put me together again

        Am
'Cause all of my enemies started out friends

 F
Help me hold on to you
[Chorus]
              C            G         F
I've been the archer, I've been the prey

               Am
Who could ever leave me, darling

    G          F
But who could stay?
(I see right through me, I see right through me)
        C
Who could stay?

G          F
Who could stay?

           Am
Who could stay?

G          F
You could stay

           C         G   F
You could stay...
[Outro]
Am          G          F      (C/G)
Combat, I'm ready for combat
