[Verse] D Em G My knuckles were bruised like violets D Suckerpunching walls, Cursed you as D I sleep talked Em G Spineless in my tomb of silence D Tore your banners down, D Took the battle underground Em G And maybe it was ego swinging D Maybe, it was her D Em Flashes of the battle G D Come back to me in a blur [Chorus] C All that blood shed, crimson clover G Uhuh, sweet dream was over Em My hand was the one D 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] Em G You drew up some good faith treaties D I drew curtains closed, D Drank my poison all alone Em G You said I have to trust more freely D But diesel is desire, D You were playing with fire Em G And maybe it's the past that's talking D Screaming from a crypt D Em Telling me to punish you G 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 My hand was the one D 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] C G Em D Uh-huh Uh-huh [Bridge] Am G It turned into something bigger Em D Somewhere in the haze got a sense Am I've been betrayed Your finger on G My hair pin triggers Em Hold you down on that icy ground, D Am Looked up at me with honour and truth G Broken and blue, so Em I called off the troops D That was the night Am I nearly lost you G Em D I really thought I lost you [Verse3] D Em G We can plant a memory garden D Say a solemn prayer, D Place a poppy in my hair Em There's no morning glory, G 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
