[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
G Am F
Combat, I'm ready for combat
G Am F
I say I don't want that, but what if I do?
G Am F
'Cause cruelty wins in the movies
G Am F
I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Easy they come, easy they go
G
I jump from the train, I ride off alone
Am
I never grew up, it's getting so old
F
Help me hold on to you
[Chorus]
C G F
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
Am
Who could ever leave me, darling
G F
But who could stay?
[Verse 2]
G Am F
Dark side, I search for your dark side
G Am F
But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here?
G Am F
And I cut off my nose just to spite my face
G Am F
Then I hate my reflection for years and years
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost
G
The room is on fire, invisible smoke
Am
And all of my heroes die all alone
F
Help me hold on to you
[Chorus]
C G F
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
Am
Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling
G F
But who could stay?
(I see right through me, I see right through me)
[Bridge]
C
'Cause they see right through me
C
They see right through me
G
They see right through
G
Can you see right through me?
Am
They see right through
Am
They see right through me
F
I see right through me
F
I see right through me
[Pre-Chorus]
C
All the king's horses, all the king's men
G
Couldn't put me together again
Am
'Cause all of my enemies started out friends
F
Help me hold on to you
[Chorus]
C G F
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
Am
Who could ever leave me, darling
G F
But who could stay?
(I see right through me, I see right through me)
C
Who could stay?
G F
Who could stay?
Am
Who could stay?
G F
You could stay
C G F
You could stay...
[Outro]
Am G F C/G

Combat, I'm ready for combat
