This Is A War

Em D C Am (4x)

[Verse 1]
Em
 You weren't holy
Em
That face
D
Written in the bad books
                   C
Trouble all the way
            Am
Just like a fighter
Em
Me same story

Same page
D                               C
 I was a ladder searching for fame
                   Am
Together we burned brighter

Em
Looking for a battle
Em
Ready for the pain
Em
Knew it was a challenge
Em
Everything's a game
       C
Seemed easy
          Am
Seemed so easy

[Chorus]
           Em
If I gotta fight

For the right
      D
To be loved and to love
               C    Am
Then this is a war
               Em
If we can't be free

You and me
      D
To be loved and to love
                  C   Am
Then what is this for
             Em
If this is a war

[Verse 2]
Em
 You wasn't perfect

Continues after the ad
Thought that it was cool
D                                        C
 You were my bad boy straight out of the hood
                Am
Yeah it was all good
Em
You a little tragic

Me a little bold
D
Dangerous, ecstatic
                  D
We couldn't be told
                     Am
Together we weren't alone

Em
Looking for a battle

Ready for the pain

Knew it was a challenge

Everything's a game
       C
Seemed easy
          Am
Seemed so easy


[Chorus]
           Em
If I gotta fight

For the right
      D
To be loved and to love
               C    Am
Then this is a war
               Em
If we can't be free

You and me
      D
To be loved and to love
                  C   Am
Then what is this for
             Em
If this is a war

[Bridge]
Em             D
Will the words ever make a change
      C
We've come too far to turn back now
Am
Stronger together, we are one
Em            D
  One world a million miles away
C
Two hearts, one life
    Am
One you and I


[Chorus]
           Em
If I gotta fight

For the right
      D
To be loved and to love
               C    Am
Then this is a war
               Em
If we can't be free

You and me
      D
To be loved and to love
                  C   Am
Then what is this for
             Em  D  C  Am
If this is a war
             Em  D  C  Am
If this is a war
                                         Em  D  C  Am
(Tell me, tell me, tell me) if this is a war
