Am
Load your guns, take sides
Am
Raise your flag, beccause baby, love is war

Dm  Am  x2

[Verse 1]
Dm                                  Am
Hey baby, what ever happened to the girl next door
Dm                          Em       Am
If I remember, she looked a lot like you
Dm                                          Am
Whatever happened to the boy who said, "I'd die for you"
Dm                                              Am
We're hanging on, but love is gone and now it's war
G                            Am
You got your weapons, baby I got mine
G                              Am      G  F
You tried to trap me with your bedroom eyes
          G                        Am
Under the covers, across the enemy lines
     G
When you don't know, you just say no


[Chorus]
Ab      Bb           Cm
Tell me why, love is war
         Ab     Bb                     Cm
When the battle is done you still want more
Ab    Bb                                 Cm
Every broken heart is trying to even the score
         Ab         Bb             Cm
It's the way of the world, love is war
      Ab        Bb            Cm
Where boy meets girl, love is war


[Verse 2]
Dm                                           Am         C
Oh I remember when the love was good and the bed was hot
Dm                                                    Am
But now we sleep on separate sides and the sheets are cold
Dm                                           Am
Aw, I used to love your candy baby, now the store is closed
G                           Am
I know my silence tears you up inside
G                             Am      G   F
You built a fortress for your hurt to hide
                 G               Am
You think you've won, but it's a tie
        G
Because nobody wins a war of pride


[Chorus]
Ab      Bb           Cm
Tell me why, love is war
         Ab     Bb                     Cm
When the battle is done you still want more
Ab    Bb                                 Cm
Every broken heart is trying to even the score
         Ab         Bb             Cm
It's the way of the world, love is war
      Ab        Bb    Ab      Bb  Cm
Where boy meets girl, love is war

[Chorus]
N.C.
Tell me why, love is war

What the hell are we fighting for


[Chorus]
Ab      Bb           Cm
Tell me why, love is war
         Ab     Bb                     Cm
When the battle is done you still want more
Ab    Bb                                 Cm
Every broken heart is trying to even the score
         Ab         Bb             Cm
It's the way of the world, love is war
Ab      Bb           Cm
Tell me why, love is war
         Ab     Bb                     Cm
When the battle is done you still want more
Ab    Bb                                 Cm
Every broken heart is trying to even the score
         Ab         Bb             Cm
It's the way of the world, love is war


[Outro]
Ab Bb        Cm   Ab Bb        Cm
War, love is war, war, love is war
Ab Bb        Cm   Ab Bb        Cm
War, love is war, war, love is war
