F#m                                   A                                                                       
I made you a flag out of leaves and grass    
                                    E 
I made you a map out of blood and glass 

We were young and we still are 
        C#m 
We were cold and it was dark 

F#m 
The tide came early, one night erased 
      A 
Our names in the sand, alright our hands 
       E 
Were black from putting out the fire 
C#m 
Talked about war through cans and wire 

F#m 
In our neighborhood the houses were old 
      A                                      E            C#m 
The trees were young and the summer sea was cooo-o-old-o-o-o-o-old 


E                A 
Because of the blood 
   E                   A 
I wash my face in the mud 
F#m G#m  A   B   E 
Now I'm someone new 
F#m    G#m   A    B    E 
Now I don't look like you 

F#m  A  E  C#m 

F#m 
I stood by the trees that had no leaves 
          A 
Let the snow seep into me 
               E 
I was lonely, but that's the way it was 
C#m 
Supposed to be 

F#m 
That's the way we used  
    A 
To feel, our hands were black from  
         E 
Putting out the fire 
                   C#m 
Talked about you through cans and wire, through cans and wire 
F#m                                           A    
I pulled your hair in the kitchen where the night was a blur 
                   E           C#m 
And we were never bor-or-or-o-o-or-or-ored 

F#m  A  E  C#m  

E                A 
Because of the blood 
E                      A 
I wash my face in the mud 
F#m G#m   A  B   E
