Taylor Swift - The Great War: chords

F                     Gm                 A#
   My knuckles were bruised like violets
                F                            F
Suckerpunching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked
                 Gm            A#
Spineless in my tomb of silence
                   F                           F
Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
                 Gm           A#
And maybe it was egos swinging
               F       Dm
Maybe, it was her
                Gm                           A#   F
Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur

Chorus:
            D#
All that blood shed, crimson clover
  A#
Uhuh, sweet dream was over
    Gm                           F
My hand was the one you reached for
                          D#
All throughout the Great War
                  A#
Always remember uhuh, tears on the letter
   Gm                  F
I vowed not to cry anymore
                          F
If we survived the Great War

                  Gm                 A#
You drew up some good faith treaties
                  F                           F
I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
                     Gm               A#
You said I have to trust more freely
                 F                           F
But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire
                    Gm                  A#
And maybe it's the past that's talking
                   F       F
Screaming from a crypt
               Gm                               A#
Telling me to punish you for things you never did
F
 So I justified it

Chorus:
            D#
All that bloodshed, crimson clover
    A#
Uh-huh, the bombs were closer
    Gm                           F
My hand was the one you reached for
                          D#
All throughout the Great War
                    A#
Always remember uh-huh, the burning embers
   Gm                    F
I vowed not to fight anymore
                          D#
If we survived the Great War

    A#      Gm   F
Uh-huh  Uh-huh

Cm                A#
  It turned into something bigger
Gm                  F
  Somewhere in the haze got a sense
              Cm
I've been betrayed
                   A#
Your finger on my hair pin triggers
 Gm
Soldier down on that icy ground,
       F                         Cm
Looked up at me with honor and truth
             A#                        Gm
Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
              F                  Cm
That was the night I nearly lost    you
A#                    Gm   F   F
  I really thought I lost you

F                 Gm            A#
  We can plant a memory garden
               F                          F
Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
                     Gm
There's no morning glory,
                       A#
It was war, it wasn't fair
     F
And we will never go back

Chorus:
           D#
To that bloodshed, crimson clover
    A#
Uh-huh, the worst was over
    Gm                           F
My hand was the one you reached for
                          D#
All throughout the Great War
                    A#
Always remember uh-huh, we're burned for better
   Gm                      F
I vowed I would always be yours
                              D#
'Cause we survived the Great War

    A#      Gm
Uh-huh, uh-huh
                  F
I will always be yours
                         D#
'Cause we survived the Great War
    A#
Uh-huh
   Gm                   F
I vow I will always be yours
