[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
[VERSE 2]
                     Em                G
  You drew up some good faith treaties

                     D                         D
  I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone

                       Em              G
  You said I have to trust more freely

                  D                             D
  But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire

                      Em                 G
  And maybe it's the past that's talking

                     D
  Screaming from a crypt

D                  Em                              G
  Telling me to punish you for things you never did

D
  So I justified it
[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
[VERSE 3]
D                   Em          G
   We can plant a memory garden

                 D                           D
  Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair

                        Em                            G
  There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair

      D
  And we will never go back
[CHORUS]
           C
  To that blood shed, crimson clover

     G
  Uhuh, the worst was over

      Em                             D
  My hand was the one you reached for

                            C
  All throughout the Great War

                     G
  Always remember uhuh, we're burned for better

     Em                        D
  I vowed I would always be yours

                                C
  Cause we survived thе Great War

   G     Em
  Uhuh, uhuh

                     D
  I will always be yours

                            C
  'Cause we survived the Great War

   G
  Uhuh

     Em                       D
  I vowed I will always be yours
