Verse 1:
Em C G D
I would march across the desert to defeat my enemy
Em C G D
And I would lie here in the trenches with your picture next to me
Em C G D
And when I told you it's forever, then it's how its gonna be
Em C G D
Don't, won't let him just take the place of me (No..)
Pre-Chorus:
Em C G D
Does he really know you like I know you, all the little things?
Em C G D
Does he really love you, like I love you, how can he compete?
Em C G D
If he makes me fight for you, die for you, would he do the same?
Em C G D
This is turning into way more than a game..
Chorus:
Em C G D
Now it feels like soldiers in a war and none of us are backing down
Em C G D
And I will show you victory is mine before we leave this battleground
Em D
Cause he don't wanna leave, and I don't wanna go
Em G
And I know just how this battle goes
C D G
He don't wanna leave and I don't wanna fight this kind of war
Verse 2:
Em C G D
You know he's not the man you think he is; he's hiding all his flaws
Em C G D
So tell me what's the point of fighting? Because we'll all end up with scars
Em C G D
But girl if that's what I must go through, then I'm not prepared to lose
Em C G D
Cause I've already bled so much for you (No..)
Pre-Chorus:
Em C G D
Does he really know you like I know you, all the little things?
Em C G D
Does he really love you, like I love you, how can he compete?
Em C G D
If he makes me fight for you, die for you, would he do the same?
Em C G D
Baby this is turning into way more than a game..
Chorus:
Em C G D
Baby cause we're soldiers in a war and none of us are backing down
Em C G D
And I will show you victory is mine before we leave this battleground
C D
Cause he don't wanna leave, and I don't wanna go
Em G
And I know just how this battle goes
C D G
He don't wanna leave and I don't wanna fight this kind of war (No, No..)
Bridge:
Am
Getting kind of sick of this battle
Em
Wish I could take it back to when I had you
D C
I'm always thinking that I can have you, just let him have you
Am
It's getting kinda hard to convince you
Em
After all the shit that we've been through
D
Why would you let all this happen?
C
You gotta choice to make it stop
D
It's already going too far..
Chorus:
Em C G D
Girl we're soldiers in a war and none of us are backing down
Em C G D
And I will show you victory is mine before we leave this battleground
C D
Cause he don't wanna leave, and I don't wanna go
Em G
And I know just how this battle goes
C D G
He don't wanna leave and I don't wanna fight this kind of war
C D
Cause he don't wanna leave, and I don't wanna go
Em G
And I know just how this battle goes
C D G
He don't wanna leave and I don't wanna fight this kind of war..
