Pretty straight forward song. If you have any questions about timing/strum 
patterns I would just refer you back to the original recording of the song. I hope 
everything makes sense :)

Intro:  G \  \  \  Em  \  \  \  C   \  D  \  G  \  \  \

       G                              Em
It's easy to fall in love but it's so hard to break somebody's heart
      C                          D                        G
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
G                                           Em               
Once lust has turned to dust and all that's left's held breath, forgotten who we first met
 C                               D                        G
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield

(Pre-chorus)
C                              Em                               G
We both know it's coming. Does illusion count for something we hide?
             C                                  Em                           G         D
The surface tension's gotta break, one drop is all it takes to flood out this lie.   Ooh

(Chorus)
G           
You and I, we have to let each other go
Em
We keep holding on but we both know
C                                D                        G
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
G       
Peace will come when one of us puts down the gun
    Em 
Be strong for both of us, no please, don't run, don't run
C                             D                         G
Eye to eye, we face our fears unarmed on the battlefield

(Tag)                     C
We seemed like a good idea
Em                        G      (D first time only)
We seemed like a good idea 
(Second time, repeat tag)

G                                      Em
No blood will spill if we both get out now.  Still, it's hard to put the fire out    
C                                 D                       G
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
G                                       Em
Feelings are shifting like the tide and I think too much about the future
C                                 D                       G
What seemed like a good idea has turned into a battlefield
