This Is War
G#
i'm just a normal man
D# G#
i wouldn't hurt nothing at all
D#
but here we are
G#
our leaders have a plan
D# G#
i'd only kill if it's for them
D#
now here we are
[Chorus]
F# C# A#
i drove in a car and flew in a plane
B F#
to come to your house and kick your door in
C# A#
now it's down to this, it's just you and me
B F#
i'll blow your f**king head off for my country
G#
i go to church and tithe
D# G#
i go to work in a suit and tie
D#
but this is war
G#
i'm really not sure why
D# G#
but the tv says that you are wrong
D#
now here we are
[Chorus]
F# C# A#
i drove in a car and flew in a plane
B F#
to come to your house and kick your door in
C# A#
now it's down to this, it's just you and me
B F#
i'll blow your f**king head off for my country
G#
my feet hurt from the sand
D# G#
but still i march on gun in hand
D#
cause this is war
G#
this isn't what i planned
D# G#
i wanted to be so much more
D#
but this is war
[Chorus]
F# C# A#
i drove in a car and flew in a plane
B F#
to come to your house and kick your door in
C# A#
now it's down to this, it's just you and me
B F#
i'll blow your f**king head off for my country
