[Verse 1]
Em
  Caught in a
war
 of your
love and I’m
C
waving my white
 flag tall,
G
  wanting you
is just
like a drug, I
 keep
D
going through
withdrawalw.
Em
  But it ain’t
 ever easy on me,
 no, you
C
always make me
relapse,
G
  pop every pill
of your love 'til
I
D
 make my way down
to the last.

[Verse 2]
      Em
And I won’t
swallow it down
till I need you
      C
 most,
           G
wanna make sure
when I
                D
do I’m all alone.
'Cause that’s
about
    Em
the time I get
               C
to wanting you,
either way I
G
know I’m
bound to
         D
overdose.

[Verse 3]
Em
  Well, money
ain’t
nothing to me,
 baby, I
C
want something
more,
G
  'cause if I was
 rich
 and lonely I’d
D
rather be loving
you poor.
Em
  And love is a
precious thing
 and I
C
think you ought
 to know so
G
  but yours is
something special,
 I
D
know will never
 grow old.

[Verse 4]
And I’d give
Em
everything to be
              C
yours instead,
         G
give you all of
 me
'till there’s
             D
nothing left.
Your love is
Em
priceless,
timeless as
         C
much can be,
and I’d do
G
anything
just to live
that
      D
dream.
Well, if your
Em
love
could be bought
         C
with cash
I’d give you
G
every
last penny and
Trade my
D
Riches to
[Interlude] Rags.

[Interlude]
Em  C   G   D
Em  C   G   D
[Verse 5]
Trade my Riches
 Em        C
   to Rags,
          G
I’d turn away
and I’d
               D
never look back.
             Em
You’re worth more
than I’ve ever
 earned, my love
 for
C
you will forever
 burn
G
  until my heart
 turns
         D
blue and black.
And I’ll give
    Em
you every bit
of me until I’m
 a
C
hard sight to see,
yeah, I’d give you
G
everything and
Trade my
D
Riches to Rags.
