 (RIFF) 
 And so our sun may set, we've been in winter for so long  
 Don't give up on me yet, I will give you all you deserve 
 E5                       B5             F#5             E5     
 Though our arguments are many, and your eyes are always sore   
 E5                  B5              F#5 
 I promise you we'll get there, this war is almost won  
 (RIFF) 
 This war is almost won  
 E5                        B5         F#5      
 And lose if you have to  
 E5                        B5         F#5 
 And lose if you have to, oh  
 E5                           B5           F#5         E5                   
 'Cause I've been putting you through this hell for so long 
 E5                   B5                   F#5 
 I'll understand your choice my dear don't think it's getting done 
 (RIFF X2) 
 Don't let your heart grow cold, when you go to sleep upset  
 Grow with me 'til we're old, we will find a way to heal 
 E5                    B5           F#5  
 The bruises that will appear, from choices long ago  
 E5             B5                  F#5 
 Hold on to our love my dear, don't think its dead and done   
 E5   
 When this war is almost won  
 E5                           B5           F#5        
 And lose if you have to  
 E5                           B5           F#5 
 And oh, lose if you have to  
 E5                           B5           F#5 
 Oh, lose if you have to 
 E5                           B5           F#5         E5 
 'Cause I've been putting you through this hell for so long 
 E5                   B5                    F#5  
 I'll understand your choice my dear, don't think it's dead and done 
 (RIFF)  
 B                C#m              B               C#m           
 Running round in circles drinking whisky and your wine 
              B                C#m               B        C#m 
 To drown the sound of endless questions in your mind  
 B                C#m             B                 C#m 
 Forget the way I treated you and trust that I will love you better  
 B                C#m                  B       C#m 
 Give me all your patience, grant me time 
 B                C#m                  B       C#m 
 Give me all your patience, grant me time  
 E5 
 And lose

 If you have to

 If you have to

 B5  
 If you have to  
 F#5 
 If you have to
