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..
