Verso 1:

G
 Close your eyes , breathe again
Em
 Waiting on the moment trouble ends
C
 Bombs are falling, all your problems hit the ground
        D
And you say, don't take one step... Don't take one step

Pré-Refrão:

Em         D              C
 Love is broken on the battleground
Em           D           C
 Falling soldiers empty heart is bleeding out

Refrão:

G                 Em7
 This love is war , this love is war
C9
 All that's left to give
D4
 The life that's left to live
G                 Em7
 This love is war , I can't be sure
C9
 If time rewinds we play pretend 
                        D4
We could have it back again                    C
This love is war, so what are we fighting for?

Verso 2:

G
 Every word you say , still sinking in
Em7
 Your bullets pass the armor , you fire again
C9
 I keep tryin', I can't fake this anymore
              D4
It's hard to say
                    D
You can have what's left, you can have what's left
