Capo 6

G C

Intro:

G C

I'm sinking inside

G C

And the maps and lines are broken down tonight

G C

I swallow my pride

G C

But we're drowning in the ocean and it's tearing my heart open

Baby we're high then we're low, first it's yes then it's no

And we're changing like the tides

Yeah, but I want you, I need you

And I guarantee you we'll make it out alive

'Cause I don't wanna fight no more

Even when the waves get rough

G C

I don't wanna see the day we say we've had enough

And I don't wanna fight this war

Bullets coming off our lips

G C

But we stick to our guns and we love like battleships, like battleships

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, and the cannon goes

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, and the cannon goes

G C

Bombs fly through the air

G C

And I know that we're both playing not so fair

G C

Ohh, show, show me you care

I got my white flag up and it's waving

'Cause you know this love's worth saving baby

We're high then we're low, first it's yes then it's no

And we're changing like the tides

Yeah, but I want you, I need you

And I guarantee you we'll make it out alive

'Cause I don't wanna fight no more

Even when the waves get rough

G C

I don't wanna see the day we say we've had enough

And I don't wanna fight this war

Bullets coming off our lips

G C

But we stick to our guns and we love like battleships, like battleships

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, and the cannon goes

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom

G C

And we love, yeah we love

G C

And we love, yeah we love

G C

I'm sinking inside

G C

Can we finally put our weapons down tonight?

'Cause I don't wanna fight no more

Even when the waves get rough

G C

I don't wanna see the day we say we've had enough

And I don't wanna fight this war

Bullets coming off our lips

G C

But we stick to our guns and we love like battleships, like battleships

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, and the cannon goes

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, and the cannon goes

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, and the cannon goes

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, and we love like battleships
