The Great War
Taylor Swift
Key : Bb
Capo
[Verse 1]
---------------------
F                 Gm
 My knuckles were bruised like violets
Bb                Fsus4
  Sucker punching walls
                      F
Cursed you as I sleep talked
                Gm
Spineless in my tomb of silence
Bb                  Fsus4
  Tore your banners down 
                     F
Took the battle underground

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
                 Gm
And maybe it was egos swinging
Bb             Fsus4
  Maybe it was her  
F               Gm                          Bb
 Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
Fsus4         Eb
     All that bloodshed

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Crimson clover
   Bb
Uh huh, sweet dream was over
   Gm                              F
My hand was the one you reached for
                         Eb
All throughout the Great War
                    Bb
Always remember, uh huh
Tears on the letter
  Gm                      F
I vowed not to cry anymore
                         F
If we survived the Great War

[Verse 2]
---------------------
                 Gm
You drew up some good faith treaties
Bb                Fsus4
  I drew curtains closed
                     F
Drank my poison all alone
                   Gm
You said I have to trust more freely
Bb                Fsus4
  But diesel is desire 
                      F
You were playing with fire

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
                   Gm
And maybe it's the past that's talking
Bb                   Fsus4
  Screaming from the crypt
F              Gm                              Bb
 Telling me to punish you for things you never did
Fsus4
     So I justified it

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
         Eb
All that bloodshed, crimson clover
   Bb
Uh huh, the bombs were closer
   Gm                              F
My hand was the one you reached for
                         Eb
All throughout the Great War
                    Bb
Always remember, uh huh
The burning embers
  Gm                        F
I vowed not to fight anymore
                         Eb
If we survived the Great War

[Post-Chorus]
---------------------
   Bb      Gm F
Uh huh, uh huh

[Bridge]
---------------------
Cm               Bb
  It turned into something bigger
Gm                 F
  Somewhere in the haze
                       Cm
Got a sense I'd been betrayed
                  Bb
Your finger on my hairpin triggers
Gm
Soldier down
On that icy ground
       F                            Cm
Looked up at me with honor and truth
               Bb
Broken and blue
                          Gm
So I called off the troops
             F                  Cm
That was the night I nearly lost  you
Bb                         Gm   F
  I really thought I'd lost  you

[Pre-Chorus (3)]
---------------------
F               Gm
 We can plant a memory garden
Bb             Fsus4
  Say a solemn prayer
                    F
Place a poppy in my hair
                   Gm
There's no morning glory
                      Bb
It was war, it wasn't fair
    Fsus4
And we   will never go back to that

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
Eb
Bloodshed, crimson clover
   Bb
Uh huh, the worst was over
   Gm                              F
My hand was the one you reached for
                         Eb
All throughout the Great War
                    Bb
Always remember, uh huh
We're burned for better
  Gm                           F
I vowed I would always be yours
                            Eb
Cause we survived the Great War

[Outro]
---------------------
   Bb      Gm
Uh huh, uh huh
                      F
I will always be yours
                           Eb
Cause we survived the Great  War
   Bb
Uh huh,
  Gm                          F
I vowed I will always be yours
