[Verse]
EmDon't try to expClain your mind
I know what's happDening here
EmOne minute, it's loCve
And, suddenly, it's like a Dbattlefield
EmOne word turns inCto a war
Why is it the Dsmallest things that tear us down
EmMy world's nothing Cwhen you're gone
I'm out here withDout a shield - can't go back, nowC  
Both hands tied beGhind my back for nothiDng, oh, noC  
These times when we cGlimb so fast to falDl, again
Why we gotta fall for it, Cnow
[Chorus]
I never Gmeant to start a wDar
You know, I never wanna hurt yoCu
Don't even Gknow what we're fighting Dfor
Why does love always feel like a Cbattlefield, a Gbattlefield, a Dbattlefield
Why does love always feel like a Cbattlefield, a Gbattlefield, a Dbattlefield
Why does love always feel like

EmCan't swallow our pride
Neither of us wanna Draise that flag, mmmEm  
If we can't surrender
Then, we're both gonna Dlose what we have, oh, noC  
Both hands tied behind my bGack for nothDing, oh, noC  
These times when we cGlimb so fast to faDll, again
I don't wanna fall for it, noCw

I never Gmeant to start a wDar
You know, I never wanna hurt yoCu
Don't even Gknow what we're fighting Dfor
Why does love always feel like a Cbattlefield, a Gbattlefield, a Dbattlefield
Why does love always feel like a Cbattlefield, a Gbattlefield, a Dbattlefield
Better go and get your Carmor (get your Garmor), get your Darmor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your Carmor (get your Garmor), get your Darmor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your-Am
