War Paint

               D
I've still got passion, and I've still got guts
                                  F#m
But I no longer give a fuck about what you want
              D
You say I'm a savior and a saint

Then let's stop pretending and pull out the war paint
F#m
Or do you refuse to open old wounds
   E                                 Bm
In fear that you'll actually have to feel

[Chorus 1]
          D                       F#m
We try so hard, we try to just pretend
                   E                       Bm
That things didn't change as the honeymoon set
                 D                           F#m
This house, this ring, the secrets shared in bed
                  E                  Bm
Were built on the faith in the foundation
               A  E
And I feel the bend

[Verse 2]
            F#m
The fucking more I see who you've become

The more I lose sight of the love
     Dsus2                    F#m
That I once had in your brown eyes
F#m
I used to be afraid that this would end

Now I embrace it
D                                Bm
We are ships passing through the night

[Chorus 1]
Continues after the ad
          D                       F#m
We try so hard, we try to just pretend
                   E                       Bm
That things didn't change as the honeymoon set
                 D                           F#m
This house, this ring, the secrets shared in bed
                  E                  Bm
Were built on the faith in the foundation
               A  E
And I feel the bend

[Bridge]
      D
I see bright lights flicker ahead
      D                       F#m
I see stars shining to their death
             D A E
I see you

And I don't know what to do

[Chorus 2]
F#m
Beautiful sunset, passionate kiss
D
These things mean nothing when you cannot come to terms with
A
The person who you are, and who you're meant to be
E
Are separated by a sea of insecurities
F#m
I've been digging out from underneath
D
An avalanche that has taken twenty years to see
A
Our reality is our own to create
        E
And the sooner that you realize that

The sooner that you can change

[Bridge]
F#m
Or history will just hit repeat
        D
And you will pass your poison down onto your child's feet
A
And they will struggle, struggle to breathe
E
Cowering in shadows that you cast they cannot see

[Chorus 2]
F#m
Beautiful sunset, passionate kiss
D
These things mean nothing when you cannot come to terms with
A
The person who you are, and who you're meant to be
E
Are separated by a sea of insecurities
F#m
I've been digging out from underneath
D
An avalanche that has taken twenty years to see
A
Our reality is our own to create
        E
And the sooner that you realize that

The sooner that you can change

[Other]
F#m
I won't repeat. I won't repeat
D
I won't repeat the things that I can change
A
I won't repeat. I won't repeat
E                                     F#m
I won't repeat the things that I can change
