War chords

War

• Em

I looked for the chords to this song everywhere and couldn't find any I liked so I did my best to
figure itout by ear. I know it's not completely accurate and I would LOVE any help or input you
could give! I play it with a capo on the first fret but I believe the original version doesn't use
a capo. I hope this helps any of you Former Vandal (Quinn Wentz) fans. He's amazing and I encourage
everyone to go follow him on YouTube! :)

If you listen to the song I'm sure you'll hear that some of these lyrics overlap with each other.
Just do your best with the rhythm.

Intro: Em* C* G* Am* (x2)

Em*  C*           G*               Am*
You run, like the letters on these pages.
Em*     C*                G*            Am*
I'm not sick but still so far away from sane.
Em*      C*       G*               Am*
Nightmares, but I haven't slept in ages.
Em*         C*                     G*            Am*
The battles won, but there's still poison in our veins.


      Em      C     G            Am                    
We've lost control, anything but gently down the stream.
Em       C      G*              Am*
(Hold me close) Hold me tell me life is but a dream.



Em C    G            Am
Save me, I think I'm losing my mind.
Em             C                    G                 Am
You said you'd come for me when the world swallows me whole. (Well, this is war.)
Em C         G                   Am
Save me, the battles won but the war is still to fight.
Em             C                    G                 Am
You said you'd come for me when the world swallows me whole.
            Em* C*    G* Am*
Well, this is war. (x2)


Em  C                 G                    Am
You breathe like your lungs aren't full of matches.
      Em               C           G                  Am
Every careful word you speak has a chance of sparking fire.
Em C         G                          Am
I hope I can sleep straight through the madness.
    Em           C             G             Am*
But I can't even tell when I'm sleeping anymore.



      Em      C     G            Am                    
We've lost control, anything but gently down the stream.
Em       C      G               Am*
(Hold me close) Hold me tell me life is but a dream.



Em C    G            Am
Save me, I think I'm losing my mind.
Em             C                    G                 Am
You said you'd come for me when the world swallows me whole. (Well, this is war.)
Em C         G                   Am
Save me, the battles won but the war is still to fight.
Em             C                    G                 Am
You said you'd come for me when the world swallows me whole.
            Em* C*    G* Am*
Well, this is war. (x2)


(You can do single strums of Em at the beginning of the bridge or just not strum anything, up to you.)

Let the darkness come for me, let it try to steal my soul.

As if I had a soul to steal.
(x3)


G*               Am*
Hold me, tell me life is but a dream.



Em C    G            Am
Save me, I think I'm losing my mind.
Em             C                    G                 Am
You said you'd come for me when the world swallows me whole. (Well, this is war.)
Em C         G                   Am
Save me, the battles won but the war is still to fight.
Em             C                    G                 Am
You said you'd come for me when the world swallows me whole.
            Em* C*    G* Am*
Well, this is war. (x7 to fade)
