[VERSE 1] D Em G My knuckles were bruised like violets D Suckerpunching walls, cursed D you as I sleep talked Em G Spineless in my tomb of silence D Tore your banners down, D took the battle underground Em G And maybe it was ego swinging D Maybe, it was her D Em Flashes of the battle come G D 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 You drew up some good faith G treaties D I drew curtains closed, D drank my poison all alone Em You said I have to trust G more freely
D
But diesel is desire,
D
you were playing with fire
Em
And maybe it's the past
G
that's talking
D
Screaming from a crypt
D Em
Telling me to punish you
G
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
C G Em D
Uh-huh Uh-huh
[BRIDGE]
Am G
It turned into something bigger
Em D
Somewhere in the haze got
Am
a sense I've been betrayed
G
Your finger on my hair pin triggers
Em
Hold you down on that icy ground,
D
looked up at me with
Am
honour and truth
G
Broken and blue, so I called
Em
off the troops
D
That was the night
Am
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 Say a solemn prayer, D place a poppy in my hair Em There's no morning glory, G 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
