Chorus:
  Gm 
  We're living on the front line you & me.   
 
Fighting on this battleground of misery. 
F                                                                   Gm 
Oh, go ahead, bring on your artillery and we'll make this an act of  war. 
Gm 
Give it all you've got `cause I'm all dug in. 
 
Keep the punches coming I can take them on the chin. 
F                                                                 Gm  
{intro} 

Winner takes all, let the best man win   and we call it an act of war. 
 
 
Eb                       F   
And it looks like time       ain't been on our side.
