Verse 1

..My knuckles were bruised like violets
G D D
..Suckerpunching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked
Em
Spineless in my tomb of silence
G D D
..Tore your banners down, took the battle underground

And maybe it was ego swinging
G D
..Maybe, it was her
D Em G D
..Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur...

All that blood shed, crimson and clover

Verse 2
Em
You drew up some good faith treaties
G D D
..I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
Em
You said I have to trust more freely
G D D
..But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire
Em
And maybe it’s the past that’s talking
G D
..Screaming from a crypt
D Em G
..Telling me to punish you for things you never did
D
..So I justified it
Chorus

All that blood shed, crimson and clover

Bridge
Am G
..It turned into something bigger
Em D Am
..Somewhere in the haze got a sense I’d been betrayed

Your finger on my hair pin triggers
Em D D
Hold you down on that icy ground, looked up at me with honor and truth
G Em
Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
D Am
That was the night I nearly lost you
G Em D
..I really thought I lost you
D Em

I will always be yours

‘Cause we survived the Great War

I vow I will always be yours
