Capo: 1st fret
INTRO
Em                                   C
Hope the wound heals but it never does
                                    G
That's cause you're at war with love
                       D
You're at war with love, yeah
 
 
HOOK
             Em                                  C
These battle scars don't look like they're fading
                                    G
Don't look like they're ever going away
                       D
They ain't never gonna change
 
These battle...
 
 
VERSE
Em                         C
  Never let a wound ruin me
                                G
But I feel like ruin's wooing me
                                                       D
Arrow holes, they never close from Cupid on a shooting spree
                                                  Em
Feeling stupid cause I know it ain't no you and me
 
But when you're trying to beat the odds up
     C
Been trying to keep your nods up
                                 G
And you know that you should know
 
And let her go
 
But the fear of the unknown
      D
Hold another lover strong
                            Em
Sends you back into the zone
 
With no Tom Hanks to bring you home,
  C
A lover not a fighter
                             G
On the front line with a poem,
 
Trying to write yourself a rifle
                   D
Maybe sharpen up a stone
 
To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone
 
 
[Pre-Hook]
               Em
I wish I never looked, I wish I never touched
                    C
I wish that I could stop loving you so much
                   G
Cause I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
                D
When all of the signs say that I should forget her
                       Em
I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had
                C
I wish that the good outweighed the bad
                     G                            D
Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over
 
 
HOOK
             Em                                  C
These battle scars don't look like they're fading
                                    G
Don't look like they're ever going away
                       D
They ain't never gonna change
 
             Em                                  C

                                    G
Don't look like they're ever going away
                       D
They ain't never gonna change
 
These battle...
 
 
VERSE
Em                                  C
  You shouldn't have but you said it
                                         G
It shouldn't have happened but you let it
 
Now you're down on the ground screaming medic
    D
The only thing that comes is the post-traumatic stresses
Em                                     C
  Shields, body armors and vests don't properly work
 
That's why you're in a locker full of hurt
    G
The enemy within and all the fires from your friends
    D
The best medicine's to probably just let it win
 
 
[Pre-Hook]
                  Em
I wish I couldn't feel, I wish I couldn't love
                    C
I wish that I could stop cause it hurts so much
                 G
And I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
                D
When all of the signs say that I should forget her
                       Em
I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had
                C
I wish that the good outweighed the bad
                     G                            D
Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over

BRIDGE
Am                        Em
  Cause you set me on fire
                              G
I've never felt so alive, yeah
 
No, hoping wounds heal, but it never does
D                                 Am
That's because you're at war with love
                                Em
And I'm at the point of breaking
                             D
And it's impossible to shake it (yeah)
    Am
See, you hoped the wound heals, but it never does
Em                                G
  That's cause you're at war with love
                                D
Hope it heals, but it never does
 
That's cause you're at war with love!
