[Intro]
Em D
[Verse 1]
    EmThis used to be a ghost town but even the GghDosts got out
And the sound of the hCighway died
There's ashes in the sDwimming pool
     EmI saw you on your wedding night and I watched you sleeping iDn my arms
You didn't wash your mCakeup off
And you woke up looking sDcared as hell
[Chorus]
My lEmove won't change, my love won't change, my GloDve won't change a thing
You're never coming bacCk to me
You're never coming back Dat all
And the wCaiter made a young girl cry at the tB7able next to mine tonight
And I Emknow you would have brDought him to his kAmnees
But you're oveCrseas
[Break]
Em D
[Verse 2]
     EmDoesn't seem so long ago we thought that we coulGd chDange their minds
We'd stay here and fiCght it out
With a love that we could weaDponize
     EmBut I saw you losing faith and I was watching when the lDight went out
You know what revoClution means
And you know it's not an optDion now
[Chorus]
And our Emlove won't change, our love won't change,  oDur love won't change a thing
I couldn't leave my fatCher here, to finish up his lifDe alone.
And I Csaw you in our daughter's eyes last B7night when she caught me in a lie
And I Emneed you here to make Dboth of us believAme
But you're oveCrseas

[Intro]

Em D

[Verse 1]

Em G D

This used to be a ghost town but even the ghosts got out

And the sound of the highway died

There's ashes in the swimming pool

Em D

I saw you on your wedding night and I watched you sleeping in my arms

You didn't wash your makeup off

And you woke up looking scared as hell

[Chorus]

Em G D

My love won't change, my love won't change, my love won't change a thing

You're never coming back to me

You're never coming back at all

C B7

And the waiter made a young girl cry at the table next to mine tonight

Em D Am

And I know you would have brought him to his knees

But you're overseas

[Break]

Em D

[Verse 2]

Em G D

Doesn't seem so long ago we thought that we could change their minds

We'd stay here and fight it out

With a love that we could weaponize

Em D

But I saw you losing faith and I was watching when the light went out

You know what revolution means

And you know it's not an option now

[Chorus]

Em D

And our love won't change, our love won't change, our love won't change a thing

C D

I couldn't leave my father here, to finish up his life alone.

C B7

And I saw you in our daughter's eyes last night when she caught me in a lie

Em D Am

And I need you here to make both of us believe

But you're overseas

[Solo]
