CAPO: 3rd FRET
INTRO:
D Em D Em
VERSE:
Oh I kDnow, I know, I know
All the songs you write are abEmout me
But you chDanged the names
So I can’t stake my claim
You’re so grEmeedy
And I kDnow, I know, I know
That you think you’re a much better wEmriter
And that miDght be true
But what I’ve got on you
Is I’m a fEmighter
CHORUS:
This is wDar
My fingers are sEmore
So far from the tDop
But I refuse to sGtop
Got shakers in my eDardrums
Bossing like a Emnew gun
Baby, when it’s aDll done
You won’t mind that I’ve Gwon
This is a bDattle
You are the pEmrize
Put down that pDiano
Let’s start our lGives
You’ve got more sDoldiers
But I’ve got more pEmassion
And I’m right behDind you
Just gaining trGaction
POW! POW! POW! PDOW!
BANG! BANG! BANG! EmBANG!
POW! POW! POW! PDOW!
BANG! BANG! BANG! EmBANG!
VERSE:
And I kDnow, I know, I know
About the lovers in your bulletproof lEmining
They don’t intDimidate
They’re just too bit-ah late and bad tEmiming
And I knDow, I know, I know
You’ve got your battle plan mapped out in Eminches
But I’m not scDared of you
I’m jumping right into these Brooklyn tEmrenches
CHORUS:
This is wDar
My fingers are sEmore
I might be a mDasochist
Just asking for mGore
Cause this stage is like a stDandoff
And you’re pretty tEmough
I’m bruised and blDoody
BUT I’LL NEVER GIVE GUP!
This is a bDattle
You are the pEmrize
Put down that pDiano
And come to my sGide
We’ll sing songs togDether
I’ll hold your hEmand
Make perfect-pitched bDabies
And form a bGandD  G  D  G  
VERSE:
DI don’t really want,
I don’t really wanna fight no mEmore
I’m swDeating in the sun
Camped out with ammo at your dEmoor
Uh-oor, uh-oor, uh-oor, oh
DI don’t really want,
I don’t really wanna fight no mEmore
I just cDan’t be beat
So I will stand the heat
Until your love, your love is sEmure
Baby, this is war
OUTRO:
DBANG! BANG! BANG! EmBANG!

BANG! BANG! BANG! EmBANG!
POW! POW! POW! PDOW!
