i live on a battlefield
C G Em
surrounded by the ruins of the love we built
C G
and then destroyed between us
Em
the smoke has cleared
C G
as i stumble through the rubble
Em C
i’m dazed , seeing double
G
and i’m truly mystified

G B7
my new home is a shell hole filled
Em G
with tears and muddy water
Em
and bits of broken heart
G B7
all around there is desolation
Em G
and scenes of devastation
B7
of a love been torn apart
Em D C B7
i live on a battlefield
Em D C B7
i live on a battlefield

i live on a battlefield
the one where not one single drop of blood has spilled
is no less horrifying
sweet memories , memories
of a bygone situation
now shattered lord and battered
lie scattered all around

my new home is a shell hole filled
with tears and muddy water
yes and bits of broken heart
all around there is desolation
and scenes of devastation
of a love been torn apart
i live on a battlefield
i live on a battlefield

Em C
everything that can has gone wrong
G B7
( i live on a battlefield )
Em C
it’s gonna take spine to carry on
G B7
( i live on a battlefield )
Em C
like a drowning man coming up for air
G B7
( i live on a battlefield )
Em C
i’m looking for another survivor
G B7
but i can’t see one anywhere

Em C G
my new home is filled with muddy water
Em C G
all around there’s bits of broken heart
Em C G
my world is one of desolation
C G
and scenes of devastation
C G
there is no consolation
B7
for a love been torn apart
Em D C B7
i live on a battlefield
Em D C B7
i live on a battlefield
Em D C B7
i live on a battlefield , battlefield
Em
i live on a battlefield
