John Mayer: Heartbreak Warfare.
A, D
Lightning strikes
Inside, my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain
A, D
Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It's heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really every wins
In heartbreak warfare
F#m, A, D
If you want more love,
why don't you say so?
If you want more love,
why don't you say so?
A, D
Drop his name
Push it in and twist the knife again
Watch my face
As I pretend to feel no pain
A, D
Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It's heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare.
F#m, A, D
If you want more love,
why don't you say so?
If you want more love,
why don't you say so?
F, C, F, C
Just say so...
F, G, F, G
How come the only way to know how high you get me
is to see how far I fall
God only knows how much I'd love you if you let me
but I can't break free at all.
A
It's a heartbreak...
A, D
I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonight
Let's just fix this whole thing now
I swear to God we're gonna get it right
If you lay your weapon down
Red wine and ambien
You're talking shit again, it's heartbreak warfare
Good to know it's all a game
Disappointment has a name, it's heartbreak warfare.
