Paradise Fears - Battle Scars

      
[Verse 1]
                          D
This is an anthem for the homesick

For the beaten
    A
The lost, the broke, the defeated
               Bm     
A song for the heartsick

For the standby's
       G
Living life in the shadow of a goodbye

       D
Do you remember when we learned how to fly?
             A
We played make-believe

We were young and had time on our side
     Bm
You're stuck on the ground

Got lost, can't be found
     G                        A
Just remember that you're still alive


[Chorus]
               D
I'll carry you home
            A
No, you're not alone
              Bm
Keep marching on

This is worth fighting for
               G
You know we've all got battle scars

           D
You've had enough
                    A
But just don't give up
              Bm
Stick to your guns

You are worth fighting for
               G
You know we've all got battle scars
              D
Keep marching on


[Verse 2]
                      D
This is a call to the soldiers
                  A
The fighters, the young, the innocent and righteous
                   Bm
We've got a little room to grow

Better days are near
G
Hope is so much stronger than fear

          D
So if you jump kid don't be scared to fall
                         A
Well, we'll be kings and queens in this dream

All for one, one for all
        Bm
You can light up the dark

There's a fire in your heart
        G
Burning brighter than ever before


[Chorus]
               D
I'll carry you home
            A
No, you're not alone
              Bm
Keep marching on

This is worth fighting for
               G
You know we've all got battle scars

           D
You've had enough
                    A
But just don't give up
              Bm
Stick to your guns

You are worth fighting for
               G
You know we've all got battle scars

Keep marching-


[Bridge]

D
On and on

Like we're living on a broken record
A
Hope is strong

But misery's a little quicker
Bm
Sit and we wait and we drown there
                                        G
Thinking, "Why bother playing when it's unfair?"
         D
They say life's a waste

I say they lack belief
             A
They tell me luck will travel

I tell them that's why I've got feet
Bm
Left, right

Left, right
                     G
Moving along, to the pulse of a heartbeat

D
This could be the last chance you have to fly
       A
Do you like the ground?

Want it to pass you by?
         Bm
Man you had it all

When you were just a kid
       G
Do you even remember who you were back then?
            D
What do you want in life?

Would you be twice as strong?
               A
What would you sacrifice?

What are you waiting on?
Bm
Don't stop
G
March on

[Chorus]
               D
I'll carry you home
               A
No, you're not alone
              Bm
Keep marching on

This is worth fighting for
               G
You know we've all got battle scars

           D
You've had enough
                    A
But just don't give up
              Bm
Stick to your guns

You are worth fighting for
               G
You know we've all got battle scars
              D
Keep marching on



              D
Keep marching on
