Em                                   C 
Hope the wound heals but it never does 
                                G 
That's cause you're at war with love 
                   D 
You're at war with love, yeah 

 
             Em                                  C 
These battle scars don't look like they're fading 
                                   G 
Don't look like they're ever going away 
                       D 
They ain't never gonna change 

             Em                                  C 
These battle scars don't look like they're fading 
                                   G 
Don't look like they're ever going away 
                       D 
They ain't never gonna change 
These battle...  

  
Em                       C 
Never let a wound ruin me 
                                G 
But I feel like ruin's wooing me 
                                              D 
Arrow holes, they never close from Cupid on a shooting spree 
                                                  Em 
Feeling stupid cause I know it ain't no you and me 
                                          C 
But when you're trying to beat the odds up 
Been trying to keep your nods up 
                                 G 
And you know that you should know 
And let her go 
                           D 
But the fear of the unknown 
Hold another lover strong 
                            Em 
Sends you back into the zone 
                                   C 
With no Tom Hanks to bring you home, 
A lover not a fighter 
                             G 
On the front line with a poem, 
Trying to write yourself a rifle 
                        D 
Maybe sharpen up a stone 
To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone 


Pré-Refrão: 
               Em                          Em 
I wish I never looked, I wish I never touched 
                    C                      C 
I wish that I could stop loving you so much 
                   G 
Cause I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together 
                D 
When all of the signs say that I should forget her 
                       Em                       Em 
I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had 
                C 
I wish that the good outweighed the bad 
                     G                                           D 
Cause it'll never be over (never be over) until you tell me it's over 



             Em                                  C 
These battle scars don't look like they're fading 
                                   G 
Don't look like they're ever going away 
                       D 
They ain't never gonna change 

             Em                                  C 
These battle scars don't look like they're fading 
                                   G 
Don't look like they're ever going away 
                       D 
They ain't never gonna change 
These battle... 


Em                                C 
You shouldn't have but you said it 
                                         G 
It shouldn't have happened but you let it 
                                             D 
Now you're down on the ground screaming medic 
                                                        Em 
The only thing that comes is the post-traumatic stresses 
                                                  C 
Shields, body armors and vests don't properly work 
                                          G 
That's why you're in a locker full of hurt 
                                                    D 
The enemy within and all the fires from your friends 
                                               Em 
The best medicine's to probably just let it win 


Pre-Refrão: 
                  Em                      Em 
I wish I couldn't feel, I wish I couldn't love 
                    C 
I wish that I could stop cause it hurts so much 
                 G 
And I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together 
                D 
When all of the signs say that I should forget her 
                       Em                    Em 
I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had 
                C 
I wish that the good outweighed the bad 
                     G                            D 
Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over 



             Em                                  C 
These battle scars don't look like they're fading 
                                   G 
Don't look like they're ever going away 
                       D 
They ain't never gonna change 

             Em                                  C 
These battle scars don't look like they're fading 
                                   G 
Don't look like they're ever going away 
                       D 
They ain't never gonna change 
These battle... 


Em                      C 
Cause you set me on fire 
                              G 
I've never felt so alive, yeah 
                                       D 
No, hoping wounds heal, but it never does 
                                      Em 
That's because you're at war with love 
                                C 
And I'm at the point of breaking 
                                 G 
And it's impossible to shake it (yeah) 
                                               D 
See, you hoped the wound heals, but it never does 
                                  Em 
That's cause you're at war with love 
                                G 
Hope it heals, but it never does 
                                  D 
That's cause you're at war with love! 


             Em                                  C 
These battle scars don't look like they're fading 
                                   G 
Don't look like they're ever going away 
                       D 
They ain't never gonna change 

             Em                                  C 
These battle scars don't look like they're fading 
                                   G 
Don't look like they're ever going away 
                       D 
They ain't never gonna change 
These battle...
