[Primeira Parte]

   Bm               D                 G
My father taught my home is where the hurt is
             Bm      D               G
So I built a fortress where I lived alone
        Bm                D               G
He said ships where never meant to have a harbor
                 Bm    D                G
So I’ve worn his armor, I’ve fought and flown

[Refrão]

A
I was raised a soldier

Put my weapons down to hold you
Bm
Is a kiss an act of war?
       F#m
I just tried to keep you warm
G
Even though I couldn’t stay

No, you never looked away
A
Now I can’t look away

                         G
Would you meet me in the middle?
                           D/F#
Could we both stop keeping score?
                        A
There’s a battle I must fight alone
                          Bm
But it’s you I’m fighting for
                  G
If I call off the battalion
                             D/F#
Break my walls down stone by stone
               A
Tear down my defenses
                           Bm
I could build your heart a home
         G      A
And if I did
               (Bm)
Would you come home?

[Segunda Parte]

  Bm              D             G
Together we could quiet all the noises
              Bm      D
Drown out the voices
             G
Play our own song
Bm            D             G
Boys becoming men under the desert sky
              Bm         D            G
But something dark inside said it was wrong

G
Even though I couldn’t stay

No, you never looked away
A
Now I won't look away

                         G

                Bm
Would you come home?

[Ponte]

Em
I still find my father’s shrapnel
G                 D      A
Buried beneath my skin
    Em                       G
I’d begun to heal in all the places
                D      A
Your hands have been

[Refrão]

[Final]

Bm                 D                  G
Wish I’d found the words when we were 17
             Bm         D
You were the best of me
            G
You are the best of me
