Intro: G then G C 

G                 C 
When I opened my eyes what did I see 
G                 C 
Falling from the skies in front of me 
G             F          G                F 
Not quite but close as though I'd seen a ghost 
G              C 
Was it too much to feel the touch 
G             C 
Of someone that you couldn't love 
G             F               G    F 
Cause someone that comes and goes 
   C               F 
So how are you I'm doing well 
     G 
I'm fighting tears you couldn't tell 
    C             F                G 
I'm not as strong as you thought I was 
          F               C 
When you fall down do you hear the sound 
    G 
Of broken dreams hiting the ground 
F               C             G 
Baby please be casualties of war 
G                     C 
You lost the fight I heard it was a good fight 
G                     C 
The kind that no one wins and no one´s right 
G                 F    G                  F 
I could´ve walked away I should´ve walked away 
G                             C 
You always had that habit of keeping score 
G                                  C 
You might have won the battle but not the war 
G          F            G      F 
What goes around comes around (?) 
    C               F 
So how are you, I'm doing well 
    G 
I'm fighting tears you couldnt tell 
    C             F                G 
I'm not as strong as you thought I was 
          F               C 
When you fall down do you hear the sound 
    G 
Of broken dreams hiting the ground 
F               C             G 
Baby please be casualties of war
