[Verse 1]
   D                   Bm
We argued over whether I could buy that Chevy
     G                        D
That Silverado sittin' in the drive
                                   Bm
She would always give in when we'd fight about religion
G                                   A
Even though Lord knows that she was right
     Bm                            G
From politics to picture shows and music on the radio
D                             G
What we could and could not afford
       D                  Bm      G
Well I may have won those battles
    A                D   D
But I still lost the war

[Chorus]
G
Every time we'd disagree and it got down to her and me
   D          A              D   D
It was always me who got his way
    F#m                               G
Now sittin' here I'm looking back the only thing I see
            Em                                A
Is that the time for looking back's a bit too late
        G                 Em              G
And I'm thinking as she's walking out the door
       D                  Bm     G
Well I may have won those battles
    A                D
But I still lost the war

[Verse 2]
   D                       Bm
So many times she'd ask me just to meet her halfway
    G                             D
But in my mind there was no compromise
                                    Bm
And it kills me to remember all the times when she'd surrender
      G                            A
Never showing me a single tear she cried
    Bm                         G
And as I watch her walking out I'm left here to figure out
D                               G
What it was that I was fightin' for
       D                  Bm     G
Well I may have won those battles
    A                D   D
But I still lost the war
