 E
Love
              C#m
Look at the two of us
            E  
Drifting apart, it seems
             A
Caught in a lonely dream
 E
Now
             C#m
Twisted and torn again
           G#m
Out on the edge we've been
              A
Can you just pull me in?

     E
And fear begins to cloud your face
     G#m
And common ground starts to break
 B
You say you love me anyway
    A
And I do

Chorus:
          E
And it's war
            C#m7
Yeah, it's war
           Bsus4
I can't escape
I'm up in flames
                 A
I can't live without you
          E
And it's war
            C#m7
Yeah, it's war
             Bsus4
Love is the pain
Call me by name
                 A
I can't live without you

Now
Now I'm surrendering
Hold up these empty hands
Don't shoot me down again
And how
How does a fool begin
Something he'll never win?
Tell me, 'cause I don't know

Chorus:
And it's war
Yeah, it's war
I can't escape
I'm up in flames
I can't live without you
And it's war
Yeah, it's war
Love is the pain
Call me by name
I can't live without you

            C#m
I'm not the enemy
                G#m
But darling, I do believe
              A
You'll be the end of me
                 E
I can't let you go

          E
It's the sound of fear
The sound of joy
     C#m7
The sound of life
Inside the noise
      Bsus4
The sweetest sound is still your voice
          A
And it's ringing in my head
    E
And in the end, just take my hand
 C#m7
Hold me close and understand
     Bsus4
That all our hurt and all our pain
    A
Forgiven

Chorus:
And it's war
Yeah, it's war
I can't escape
I'm up in flames
Can't live without you
And it's war
Yeah, it's war
Love is the pain
Call out my name
Can't live without you
