A Love Like War

C D D Em


[Verse]

C                    Am
Make a wish on our sorry little hearts,
        D                            Em
have a smoke, pour a drink, steal a kiss in the dark,
        C                        Am
fingernails on my skin like the teeth of a shark,
      D               Em
I'm intoxicated by the lie...
        C                        Am
In the chill of your stare I am painfully lost,
        D                         Em
like a deer in the lights of an oncoming bus,
         C                             Am
For the thrill of your touch, I will shamefully lust,
         D                        Em
as you tell me we're nothing but trouble...


[Chorus]

             C
Heart's on fire tonight,
         Am     D
Feel my bones ignite,
           Em
Feels like war,
            G
Feels like war (x2)

C                      Am           D    Em
We go together or we don't go down at all, (x3)


[Verse]

 C                    Am
Fail-safe trigger, lock-down call,
           D                         Em
Wipe the drive, clean-slate, quick, sound the alarm!
     C                             Am
No escape from the truth and the weight of it all,
       D                     Em
I am caught in the web of a lie...
          C                      Am
and the bitch of it all is that I'm running from,
     D                        Em
the desire of the people to whom I belong,
        C                      Am
at the end of the day you can tell me I'm wrong,
        D                     Em
'cause you went to all the trouble...


[Chorus]

             C
Heart's on fire tonight,
         Am     D
Feel my bones ignite,
           Em
Feels like war,
            G
Feels like war (x2)

C                      Am           D    Em
We go together or we don't go down at all, (x2)

C D D Em (x2)

             C
Heart's on fire tonight,
          Am    D
Feel my bones ignite,
           Em
Feels like war,
            G
Love feels like war  (x3)

C                      Am          D    Em
We go together or we don't go down at all, (x2)


[Outro]

C         Am    D    Em            C      Am     D     Em
Is this the end of us, or just a means to start again?
