intro : C / Cmaj7 / Am / G / F / G / C G / (2x)
C Cmaj7 Am
There's someone at my frontdoor
G F G C G
and he's raising his voice: is there anybody home?
C Cmaj7 Am
Now there's a question I like,
G F G C G
kept me up and I have been thinking all night long.
F G C C7
Summertime gonna cut my hair now,
F G C C7
and ask a friend to die it red.
F G C C7
Spent my days watching girls in the park;
F G C*
I'm just trying to fill my head.
C Cmaj7 Am
Yes I hate to admit
G F G C G
but I miss you like hell miss you every day.
C Cmaj7 Am
And yes I hate to be asked
G F G C G
cause everytime they do I don't know what to say
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/shine/the_war_crd.html ]
F G C C7
I need someone to come and save me,
F G C C7
when I'm wrapped up in my world.
F G C C7
Need someone to poke a finger
F G A
in the places where it hurts.
G? (not to sure about this one) D
Baby it's driving me mad I need your warm hands back on my head,
E G D
hear you say: it's alright alright
(let's rock) A / A / A ...
C Cmaj7 Am
I felt myself slipping back
G F G C G
I could feel the old man grab me by the throat.
C Cmaj7 Am
He slowly squeezed out the air
G F G C G
made me look like a fool, chokin' every word
F G C C7
I know tonight I lost the fight,
F G C C7
pulled the blankets way over my head.
F G C C7
Had the old man stand guard at the door,
F G A
checked for ghosts under my bed,
G? D
baby it's driving me mad and I don't think I can take it anymore.
E G D
Hey old man can we cease the war.
E G D
Hey old man can we cease the war.
