Make War Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Our[A] love is [D]dead but without limit
[G]Like the surface of the moon
[D]Or the land between
here and [A]the mountains
It is not these [D]hiding places
that [G]have kept us innocent
But the way [D]you taught me
to [A]just let it all go back
[D]

[Verse 2]
So we learn to be as faithless
Stand be[G]hind bulletproof glass
Ex[D]changing our affections through a [A]drawer
It was always [D]horribly convenient
and [G]happening too fast
You should count [D]your change before
you're [A]even out the [D]door

[Verse 3]
Well, yes [D]you should,
but please re[G]turn, return
To the [D]person that you were,
[Bm]and I will do [A]the same
Because it's too [G]hard to belong
to [D]someone who is gone
My [A]compass spins,
but wilderness remain[D]s

[Verse 4]
Once too [D]often I've retreated
into the [G]depths of my despair
I built [D]a barricade to block you on the [A]road
But standing there with [D]all of my
possessions piled [G]higher than a house
I felt [D]closer to you than you
[A]ever would have known
[D]

[Verse 5]
So let's let all these tiny acts of charity
become [G]ground on which to build
[D]A monument to commemorate our [A]time
And though you [D]say you've found another
who will surely [G]speed you on your way
Don't let the forest [D]grow over that
[A]path you came there [D]by

[Verse 6]
But you will, [D]so, so hurry [G]up and
run to the [D]one that you love
[Bm]And blind him with y[A]our kindness
And he'll make [G]war, oh, war,
on who [D]you were before
And [Em]claim all that has
[G]spoiled in your heart
[D]

[Verse 7]
[G]But[D][G][D]
[G][D][Am][A][D]
now I tell myself I've
mended under these [G]patches of blue sky
There's still [D]a few holes that
let in [A]a little rain
And so it's [D]crying on my shingles,
my floorboards [G]moan under my feet
The refri[D]gerator's whining so
I've [A]got reason to complain
[D]

[Verse 8]
But I'm not gonna bless you with such compliments,
some [G]degrading song of praise
Like the kind that con[D]verted you
to me so long [A]ago
Because the [D]truth is that gossip's
as good as [G]gospel in this town
You can save [D]face but you
won't [A]ever save your [D]soul

[Verse 9]
And that's a [D]fact so,
so hurry [G]up and run to the [D]one that you love
An[Bm]d tie him up in yo[A]ur likeness
And he'll be[G]come, become,
oh, the pris[D]oner I was
And know [Em]all that has [G]spoiled
in your [D]heart
Yeah, he'll know it all
He'll know [Em]all that has
[G]spoiled in your [D]heart

[Verse 10]
So [G]hurry up and run to
[D]the one that you love
[Bm]And blind him [A]with your kindness
And he'll [G]make war, oh, war,
on who you [D]were before
And claim [Em]all that h[G]as spoiled
in your [D]heart

[Outro 1]
