Em D C B7

I live on a battlefield

C G Em

Surrounded by the ruins of the love we built

C G

And then destroyed between us

The smoke has cleared

C G

As I stumble through the rubble

Em C

I'm dazed, seeing double

And I'm truly mystified

G B7

My new home is a shell hole filled

Em G

With tears and muddy water

And bits of broken heart

G B7

All around there is desolation

Em G

And scenes of devastation

Of a love been torn apart

Em D C B7

I live on a battlefield

Em D C B7

I live on a battlefield

C G

The one where not one single drop of

blood has spilled

C G

Is no less horrifying

Sweet memories, memories

C G

Of a bygone situation

Em C

Now shattered lord and battered

Lie scattered all around

G B7

My new home is a shell hole filled

Em G

With tears and muddy water

And bits of broken heart

G B7

All around there is desolation

Em G

And scenes of devastation

Of a love been torn apart

Em D C B7

I live on a battlefield

Em D C B7

I live on a battlefield

Em C

Everything that can has gone wrong

G B7

(I live on a battlefield)

Em C

It's gonna take spine to carry on

G B7

(I live on a battlefield)

Em C

Like a drowning man coming up for air

G B7

(I live on a battlefield)

Em C

I'm looking for another survivor

G B7

But I can't see one anywhere

Em C G

My new home is filled with muddy water

Em C G

All around there's bits of broken heart

Em C G

My world is one of desolation

C G

And scenes of devastation

C G

There is no consolation

For a love been torn apart

Em D C B7

I live on a battlefield

Em D C B7

I live on a battlefield

Em D C B7

I live on a battlefield, battlefield

I live on a battlefield
