Em              C
Don't try to explain your mind
                  D
I know what's happening here
Em                 C
One minute, it's love
                                D
And, suddenly, it's like a battlefield
Em               C
One word turns into a
D
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
Em
My world's nothing when you're gone
D
I'm out here without a shield - can't go back, now
C                          G                     D
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing, oh, no
C                          G                    D
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
D                                        C
Why we gotta fall for it, now
 
[Chorus]
      G                    D
I never meant to start a war
D                              C
You know, I never wanna hurt you
      G                       D
Don't even know what we're fighting for
D                                C              G              D
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
D                                C              G              D
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield

Why does love always feel like

Em
Can't swallow our pride
                    D
Neither of us wanna raise that flag, mmm
Em
If we can't surrender
                       D
Then, we're both gonna lose what we have, oh, no
C                          G                      D
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing, oh, no
C                          G                    D
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
D                               C
Why we gotta fall for it, now

You know, I never wanna hurt you

Don't even know what we're fighting for
D                                C              G              D
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
D                                C              G              D
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
D                      C               G                D
Better go and get your armor (get your armor), get your armor (get your armor)

I guess you better go and get your armor (get your armor), get your armor (get your armor)

I guess you better go and get your

Am                           D7
We could pretend that we are friends, tonight (oh)
G                           C7
And, in the morning, we wake up, and we'd be alright
 F#m7                          B7
'Cause, baby, we don't have to fight
    B                                     C              G
