G Am C
My knuckles were bruised like violets
G G
Suckerpunching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked
Am C
Spineless in my tomb of silence
G G
Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
Am C
And maybe it was egos swinging
G
Maybe, it was her
G Am C G
Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
Chorus: F
All that blood shed, crimson clover
C
Uhuh, sweet dream was over
Am G
My hand was the one you reached for
F
All throughout the Great War
C
Always remember uhuh, tears on the lettеr
Am G
I vowed not to cry anymore
G
If we survived thе Great War
Am C
You drew up some good faith treaties
G G
I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
Am C
You said I have to trust more freely
G G
But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire
Am C
And maybe itʼs the past thatʼs talking
G
Screaming from a crypt
G Am C
Telling me to punish you for things you never did
G
So I justified it
Chorus: F
All that blood shed, crimson clover
C
Uhuh, the bombs were close and
Am G
My hand was the one you reached for
F
All throughout the Great War
C
Always remember uhuh, the burning embers
Am G
I vowed not to fight anymore
F
If we survived thе Great War
C Am G
Uh-huh Uh-huh
Bridge:Dm C
It turned into something bigger
Am G Dm
Somewhere in the haze got a sense Iʼve been betrayed
C
Your finger on my hair pin triggers
Am
Soldier down on that icy ground,
G Dm
Looked up at me with honour and truth
C Am
Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
G Dm
That was the night I nearly lost you
C Am G
I really thought I lost you
G Am C
We can plant a memory garden
G G
Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
Am C
Thereʼs no morning glory, it was war, it wasnʼt fair
G
And we will never go back
Chorus: F
To that blood shed, crimson clover
C
Uhuh, the worst was over
Am G
My hand was the one you reached for
F
All throughout the Great War
C
Always remember uhuh, weʼre burned for better
Am G
I vowed I would always be yours
F
Cause we survived thе Great War
C Am
Uhuh, uhuh
G
I will always be yours
F
ʼCause we survived the Great War
C
Uhuh
Am G
I vowed I will always be yours
