[Verse 1.]
B C#m G#m
I'm not gonna start the fire or start the war
E B
Even though damage is the tongue you talk
B C#m G#m
'Cause I've got nothing left to burn here - it's all yours
E B
If you want to lose it, what you waiting for?
 
[Chorus]
E F#
'Cause it's easy to break things, to pull them apart
B B/Bb G#m F#
And you've turned destruction to some kind of art
E F#
I'll hold up my head like I held out my heart
B B/Bb G#m F#
On that day in July in the back of my car
 
E Em
I only wanted more - You only wanted war
 
[Verse 2.]
B C#m G#m
I tried to reach you, tried to change
E F# B
I took the past from your shoulders, took a piece of your pain
B C#m G#m
But you, you want a world that you can blame
E B
And I'm collateral damage, i only get in your way
 
[Chorus]
E F#
'Cause it's easy to break things, to pull them apart
B B/Bb G#m F#
And you've turned destruction to some kind of art
E F#
I'll hold up my head like I held out my heart
B B/Bb G#m F#
On that day in July in the back of my car
 
E Em
I only wanted more - You only wanted war
 
E F#

[Chorus]
E F#
'Cause it's easy to break things, to pull them apart
B B/Bb G#m F#
And you've turned destruction to some kind of art

B B/Bb G#m F#
Like i was in July before you broke my heart
 
E Em
I only wanted more - all that i got was war
