[Strophe]
D                      Em              G 
  My knuckles were bruised like violets 
                    D                           D 
Suckerpunching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked 
                  Em           G 
Spineless in my tomb of silence 
                     D                          D 
Tore your banners down, took the battle underground 
                 Em           G 
And maybe it was egos swinging 
                 D 
Maybe, it was her 
D                 Em                            G     D 
  Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
[Refrain]
          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
[Strophe]
                   Em                G 
You drew up some good faith treaties 
                   D                         D 
I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone 
                     Em              G 
You said I have to trust more freely 
                D                             D 
But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire 
                    Em                 G 
And maybe it's the past that's talking 
                   D 
Screaming from a crypt 
D                  Em                              G 
  Telling me to punish you for things you never did 
D 
  So I justified it
[Refrain]
          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
[Interlude]
C     G       Em    D 
  Uh-huh  Uh-huh
[Pont]
Am                G 
  It turned into something bigger 
Em                   D                            Am 
  Somewhere in the haze got a sense I've been betrayed 
                   G 
Your finger on my hair pin triggers 
Em                                      D                             Am 
Soldier down on that icy ground, looked up at me with honour and truth 
            G                           Em 
Broken and blue, so I called off the troops 
              D                 Am 
That was the night I nearly lost you 
G                     Em      D 
  I really thought I lost you
[Strophe]
D                   Em          G 
   We can plant a memory garden 
               D                           D 
Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair 
                      Em                            G 
There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair 
    D 
And we will never go back
[Refrain]
         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
