[F]
It's another [Bb] day [F] of blue and gray
[Bb] Since we made our home [F] a battleground
We've [Bb] [F] drawn the [Bb] line
[F] You're on the north [G] side For now
[B] The south side [C] bedroom's mine
[C] Well, [F] it's sister against brother
Friend against lover
[Bb] It's sad to say
But pride's the [G] tie that binds
[F] Tell me, what are we fighting [C] for?
Nobody's gonna win this [F] civil war
[Bb] The [F] [Am]
[Gm] [F] state of our union
Is one of confusion
[Bb] We're throwing words like raging [F] cannonballs
And there's no mistaking
It's our own lives we're taking
[G] We've let our hearts become [C] stone walls
[F] And we'll never surrender
So we might as well just end here
[Bb] And declare our independence once [G] and for all
[F] Tell me, what [C] are we [F] fighting [C] for?
Nobody's gonna win this [F] civil war
Tonight [Bb] at Matters [Eb] Burning
[Bb] Precious memories are going [F] up in [Bb] [F] flames
[Bb] Where once stood pillars of strength
Only ashes [Gm] remain
[C]
[F]
[Bb] [F]
It's
[G] [C]

Friend against lover
[Bb] Who'd have ever thought forever'd [Bm] end this [G] way?
[F] Tell me, what are we fighting [C] for?
Nobody's gonna win this [F] civil war
[Bb] Oh, [F] tell me, what are we fighting [C] for?
Nobody's gonna win [Bb] this [C] [F] civil war
[Am]
[Gm] [F]
