The Great War Chords by Taylor Swift

Capo 3

[VERSE 1]
 
D                      Em              G
  My knuckles were bruised like violets
                      D                           D
  Suckerpunching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked
                    Em           G
  Spineless in my tomb of silence
                       D                          D
  Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
                   Em           G
  And maybe it was egos swinging
                   D
  Maybe, it was her
D                 Em                            G     D
  Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
            C
  All that blood shed, crimson clover
     G
  Uhuh, sweet dream was over
      Em                             D
  My hand was the one you reached for
                            C
  All throughout the Great War
                     G
  Always remember uhuh, tears on the lettеr
     Em                     D
  I vowed not to cry anymore
                              D
  If we survived thе Great War
 
 
[VERSE 2]
 
                     Em                G
  You drew up some good faith treaties
                     D                         D
  I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
                       Em              G
  You said I have to trust more freely
                  D                             D
  But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire
                      Em                 G
  And maybe it's the past that's talking
                     D
  Screaming from a crypt
D                  Em                              G
  Telling me to punish you for things you never did
D
  So I justified it
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
            C
  All that blood shed, crimson clover
     G
  Uhuh, the bombs were close and
      Em                             D
  My hand was the one you reached for
                            C
  All throughout the Great War
                     G
  Always remember uhuh, the burning embers
     Em                       D
  I vowed not to fight anymore
                              C
  If we survived thе Great War
 
 
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
 
C     G       Em    D
  Uh-huh  Uh-huh
 
 
[BRIDGE]
 
Am                G
  It turned into something bigger
Em                   D                            Am
  Somewhere in the haze got a sense I've been betrayed
                     G
  Your finger on my hair pin triggers
  Em                                      D                             Am
  Soldier down on that icy ground, looked up at me with honour 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
 
 
[VERSE 3]
 
D                   Em          G
   We can plant a memory garden
                 D                           D
  Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
                        Em                            G
  There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair
      D
  And we will never go back
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
           C
  To that blood shed, crimson clover
     G
  Uhuh, the worst was over
      Em                             D
  My hand was the one you reached for
                            C
  All throughout the Great War
                     G
  Always remember uhuh, we're burned for better
     Em                        D
  I vowed I would always be yours
                                C
  Cause we survived thе Great War
   G     Em
  Uhuh, uhuh
                     D
  I will always be yours
                            C
  'Cause we survived the Great War
   G
  Uhuh
     Em                       D
  I vowed I will always be yours
