verse 1
G#m E C#m
Cold afternoon I had no idea who you were
G#m E C#m D#m
So casually you walked into my universe
G#m E
You said "Hey you got some pretty brown eyes"
C#m
And I couldn't, couldn't help but smile
G#m E
And I think that's the moment it all happen
C#m D#m
"Wouldn't you say so, Captain?"
G#m
But love turned into games
E
Games turned into heartbreak
C#m
And heartbreak turned into war
G#m E
And if I'm correct you use to tell me
C#m
"Darling, all is fair in love and war"
[Refrão]G#m E
You you meant the world to me
C#m
Then you went World War Three
G#m E
You you love so mercilessly
C#m D#m
And left me out to bleed
G#m E C#m D#m
Guns out let's go, I'll be your fighter if you say so
G#m E C#m
Shots fired, I see the battlefield is filled with fatality
G#m E C#m
verse 2
G#m E C#m
I don't get why we're meant to fall in love, then say goodbye
G#m E C#m
Gave you all my heart and all my precious time
G#m E
And I can picture you in your blue jeans
C#m C#m E
Looking right at me with that gorgeous smile
C#m D#m
I couldn't see the lies and the things that you would hide
[Refrão]G#m E
You you meant the world to me
C#m
Then you went World War Three
G#m E
You you love so mercilessly
C#m D#m
And left me out to bleed
G#m E C#m D#m
Guns out let's go, I'll be your fighter if you say so
G#m E C#m
Shots fired, I see the battlefield is filled with fatality

So here's to you, here's to us
C#m
Here's to everything we ever were
G#m E
And here's to a new World War
Bridge
G#m E
I can see the headlights now
C#m
He tore her apart
G#m E C#m
But I got the greatest weapon of all, a broken heart
[Refrão]G#m E
You you meant the world to me
C#m
Then you went World War Three
G#m E
You you love so mercilessly
C#m D#m
And left me out to bleed
G#m E C#m D#m
Guns out let's go, I'll be your fighter if you say so
G#m E C#m
Shots fired, I see the battlefield is filled with fatality
Post-Chorus
G#m E
So here's to you, here's to us
C#m
Here's to everything we ever were
G#m E
And here's to a new World War
