[Verse 1]
F#
Tell me the words
         C#m
I've forgotten
E            B        G#
What we were fighting for
F#
Staring right into
     C#m
 the darkness
           E          B
Through an empty open door

[Pre-Chorus]
B
Can't put back
what's been broken
C#m
Can't change the moment
F#          B  G#
We went too fa-ar

[Chorus]
      F#
We're pullin' apart
        C#m
for no reason
      F#
We're pullin' a trigger
      G#      C#m
 in a useless war
    B
And if we come back and
go into the black (Black)
E            B        G#
What are we fighting for?
E            B        G#
What are we fighting for?

F#
I was supposed
       C#m
 to protect you
   E       B        G#
No matter what's to come
    F#
But somehow forgot
           C#m
 when they told me
 E                   B
"We hurt thе ones we love"

E            B        G#
What are we fighting for?
E            B
What are we fighting-?

[Bridge]
B                  G#
   We're strangers in
between the darkness

Diving underneath

   I'll find you out
 on the horizon
C#m
We'll never be enemies

How to play Friendly Fire: key, chords and progression

These are Friendly Fire chords by Linkin Park on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Friendly Fire by Linkin Park sits in E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), and you need 5 chords to play it: F#, C#m, E, B and G#.

Listen for E – B – G# – E (I – V – III – I in E major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – mi – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
