Battle Scars Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]The wound heals but it never does[C]
That's cause you're at war with [G]love
You're at war with [D]love,

[Chorus 1]
These battle [Em]scars,
don't look like they're fad[C]ing
Don't look like they're ever going a[G]way
They ain't never gonna [D]change

[Verse 1]
These battle
[Em]Never let a wound ruin me[C]
But I feel like ruin's wooing [G]me
Arrow holes that never close
from Cupid on a shooting [D]spree
Feeling stupid cause I know
it ain't no you and [Em]me
But when you're trying to beat the odds up
Been [C]trying to keep your nods up
and you know that you should know
[G]And let it go but the fear of the unknown
Holding an[D]other lover's phone
sends you back into the zone
[Em]With no Tom Hanks to bring you home
A [C]lover not a fighter
on the front line with a poem
[G]Trying to write yourself a rifle
Maybe sharpen up a [D]song
To fight the tanks and drones
of you being...

[Pre-chorus 1]
I wish I never [Em]looked, I wish I never touched
I wish that I could [C]stop loving you so much
Cause I'm the only [G]one
that's trying to keep us together
When all of the [D]signs say
that I should forget her
I wish you weren't the [Em]best,
the best I ever had
I wish that the [C]good outweighed the bad
Cause it'll never be [G]over,
until you tell me it's [D]over

[Chorus 2]
These battle [Em]scars,
don't look like they're fad[C]ing
Don't look like they're ever going a[G]way
They ain't never gonna [D]change
These battle [Em]scars,
don't look like they're fad[C]ing
Don't look like they're ever going a[G]way
They ain't never gonna [D]change

[Verse 2]
These battle
[Em]You shouldn't have but you said it
(And I [C]hope you never come back)
It shouldn't have happened but you let it
[G]Now you're down on the ground
screaming medic
The [D]only thing that comes
is the post-traumatic stresses
[Em]Shields, body armours and vests
Don't [C]properly work,
that's why you're in a locker full of hurt
The [G]enemy within
and all the fires from your friends
The [D]best medicine is to probably just let...

[Pre-chorus 2]
I wish I couldn't [Em]feel, I wish I couldn't love
I wish that I could [C]stop
'cause it hurts so much
And I'm the only [G]one
that's trying to keep us together
When all of the [D]signs say
that I should forget her
I wish you weren't the [Em]best,
the best I ever had
I wish that the [C]good outweighed the bad
Cause it'll never be [G]over,
until you tell me it's [D]over

[Chorus 3]
These battle [Em]scars,
don't look like they're fad[C]ing
Don't look like they're ever going a[G]way
They ain't never gonna [D]change
These battle [Em]scars,
don't look like they're fad[C]ing
Don't look like they're ever going a[G]way
They ain't never gonna [D]change

[Bridge 1]
These battle
[Am]'Cause you've set me on fire[Em]
I've never felt so alive, [G]yeah
Now hoping wounds heal, but it never does
[D]That's because you're at war with [Am]love
And I'm at the point of break[Em]ing
And it's impossible to shake [D]it[D]
[Am]See, you hope the wound heals,
but it never [Em]does
That's 'cause you're at war with [G]love
Hope it heals, but it never [D]does
That's 'cause...

[Chorus 4]
These battle [Em]scars,
don't look like they're fad[C]ing
Don't look like they're ever going a[G]way
They ain't never gonna [D]change
These battle [Em]scars,
don't look like they're fad[C]ing
Don't look like they're ever going a[G]way
They ain't never gonna [D]change
These battle [Em]scars,
don't look like they're fad[C]ing
Don't look like they're ever going a[G]way
They ain't never gonna [D]change
These bat[Em]tle
