Amaj7 A
There's nobody here
Amaj7 A
To tell us a joke
Fdim F#m
We tear off our ears
Fdim F#m
The fire that we stoke
Amaj7 A
You wrote me a note
Amaj7 A
The pages were blank
Fdim F#m
And I, I should have known
Fdim F#m
Invisible ink

I know that I am yours and you will be mine
 
[Chorus]

Come and join us in the trenches
A
Red and purple by our side

Say you'll never leave us
A
In this company of mine

Amaj7 A
You carry this dirt
Amaj7 A
We stole from the source
Fdim F#m
Its tongue will be hurt
Fdim F#m
Attack from the north
Amaj7 A
The color was red
Amaj7 A
The number was six
Fdim F#m
Now you're in my head
Fdim F#m
No more to convince

I know that I am yours and you will be mine

Amaj7 A
I bring this back home
Amaj7 A
Just hoping I've changed
Fdim F#m
So that you will know
Fdim F#m
Just how I'm deranged
Amaj7 A
But you're off on your search
Amaj7 A
You're crying, then went to church
Fdim F#m
You're safe, or at least I heard
Fdim F#m
Until to me you return
 
[Pre-Chorus]
B D A
I know that I am yours and you will be mine

Come and join us in the trenches

Red and purple by our side

In this company of mine
