It’s (G5)eas
y to fall in love, but it’s so (Em7)hard
to
break some bod y’s heart.
What (Csus2)seemed like a good i dea has (D)turned in to a bat tle field.
Once
lust has turned to dust and all that’s (Em7)left’s held breath; for got ten who we first met.
(Csus2)What seemed like a good i dea has (D)turned in to a bat tle field.
(C)We both know it’s com ing; does il (Em7)lu sion count for some thing?
We hide.
The sur face (C)ten sion’s got ta break; one drop is (Em7)all it takes to flood out this lie.
Oh,
(G5)you and I, we have to let each (Dsus)oth er go.
(Em7)We
keep
hold ing on, but we both know, (Csus2)what seemed like a good i dea has (D)turned in to a bat tle field.
Peace will come when one of us puts (Dsus)down the gun.
Be (Em7)strong for both of us, no please, don’t run, don’t run.
(Csus2)Eye to eye, we face our fears, (D)un armed on the bat tle field.
We seemed like a good i dea.
(Em7)We seemed like a good i dea.
(G5)No
blood will spill if we both get out (Em7)now.
Still, it’s hard to put the fire out.
(Csus2)What seemed like a good i dea has (D)turned in to a bat tle field.
(G5)Feel
ings are shift ing like the tide, and I
think too much a bout the fu ture.
(Csus2)What seemed like a good i dea has (D)turned in to a bat tle field.
We seemed like a good i dea.
(Em7)We seemed like a good i dea.
