Chords for The Crane Wives - Take Me To War (Lyrics)

_ _ _ [Am] _ [E] _ _
[Am] _ [E] _ _ [Am] _ [E] _ _
[Am] _ [Bb] I've [Am] earned [E] myself a reputation [C] That my bark is much worse than my [G] bite
But [F] I keep snapping [Ab]
at the wire's [G] ends [Am] With all of [G] my [F] tiny bites
There [Am] are no [Bm] stones at [Am] my disposal [E] [C] There's no God to hold me a crown
[F] But I am _ _
[Ab] always swinging at [Am] somebody I [Em] cannot down
[D] All of the fun [Am] I've swallowed [Em] All of the [E] sparks [G] of the [F] dark in my gut
_ [Ab] _ _
[G] Always _ burning [Em] up _
_ [Bm] Dress [Am] me in [E] red and [Am] throw your [E] roses [C] And I'll wrinkle the piece with [F] words
It's a graceless [Ab] dance of epithets [Am] We learn to make [C] some
They [G] [Am] will consume [E] your [A] sweet resistance [Em] And I'll carry your heart in [C] their teeth
[F] But I am _
[Ab] always feeding [Am] them The ugliest [E] parts of me
[Gm] All of [Am] the words I've swallowed All of the [Em] sharp things I've [F] kept in my mouth
[Am] [Ab] I am _ _
[G] always [Am] bleeding [Em] out _
_ _ [Am] Take me to [C] war, honey, I [Am] dare [Em] you _ _ _ [C] I'll be the _ sweetest thing [Am] ever to [Em] scare you
_ _ [F] Give me a bite, [Am] I can't resist [E] Give me something to break [F] with my fists
[Ab] Take me to war, [G] [Am] honey, I dare you
[Em] _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ I [Am] washed the [E] weed you served [Am] with garlic [E] And [G] it poisoned the [C] rest of the crops
[F] Would take days of [Ab] fighting, stubborn [Am] rules To tear the whole damn thing out
So I will [B] leave it where [Am] it's [E] standing [C] And instead I'll make me a match
I'll [F] turn it all [Ab] in the [Am] lake I'll burn it all [Em] down to [D] ash
All of the eyes _ [Am] I've swallowed All of [C] the holes in [F] my gut
[Ab] I am _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[Em] _ [Am] always bleeding out
Take me to war, _ honey, I dare [Em] you _ _ [C] I'll be the _ sweetest thing ever [Am] to [Em] scare you
Give [F] me a bite, [Am] I can't resist [E] Give me something to break [F] with my fists
[Ab] Take me to war, _ [G] [Am] I dare you
[Em] Take _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [Am] me to [Em] war
_ _ _ [C] _ _
Take _ [Am] me to [Em]
war
