Take Me To War

	  		Intro Am  E  Am  E 
      Am  E  Am  E 

Verse 1:

              Am     E   Am    E 
I've earned myself a reputation 
        C            G             C    G 
That my bark is much worse than my bite 
           F              G# 
But I keep snapping at Goliath's hands 
     Am             E 
With all of my tiny might 
             Am        E     Am    E 
There are no stones at my disposal 
           C        G         C     G 
There's no God to award me a crown 
         F      G# 
But I am always swinging at 
    Am                 E 
Somebody I can't knock down 

Pre-Chorus

           Dm        Am 
All of the fire I've swallowed 
          E 
All of the sparks that went dark in my 
F 
Gut 
     G#     G       Am   E 
I am always burning up 

Verse 2:

            Am      E          Am    E 
Dress me in red and throw your roses 
         C          G           C     G 
And I'll rankle the beasts with words 
       F                  G# 
It's a graceless dance of epithets 
   Am                    C 
We learn to make someone hurt 
             Am        E       Am      E 
They will consume your sweet resistance 
           C           G 
And they'll carry your heart in their 
C    G 
Teeth 
         F       G# 
But I am always feeding them 
    Am               E 
The ugliest parts of me 

Pre-Chorus

           Dm         Am 
All of the words I've swallowed 
            E 
All of the sharp things I've kept in my 
F 
Mouth 
     G#     G        Am   E 
I am always bleeding out 



           C 
Take me to war 
                  Am 
Honey, I dare you 
            C 
I'll be the sweetest thing 
              Am 
To ever scare you 
          F               Am 
Give me a fight I can't resist 
            E                       F 
Give me something to break with my fists 
           G# 
Take me to war 
    G                  Am  E 
Oh, honey, I dare you 

Verse 3:

            Am     E         Am    E 
I watched a weed usurp the garden 
        C            G           C    G 
And it poisoned the rest of the crops 
             F                G# 
It would take days of fighting stubborn 

Roots 

   Am                        E 
To tear the whole damn thing out 
          Am       E           Am      E 
So I will leave it where it's standing 
       C            G         C    G 
And instead I will find me a match 
             F      G# 
I'll turn it all to kindling 
     Am                  E 
I'll burn it all down to ash 

Pre-Chorus

           Dm       Am 
All of the ire I've swallowed 
           E                          F 
All of the coals that still sit in my gut 
     G#    G        Am   E 
I am always burning up 



           C 
Take me to war 
                  Am 
Honey, I dare you 
            C 
I'll be the sweetest thing 
              Am 
To ever scare you 
          F                Am 
Give me a fight I can't resist 
            E                       F 
Give me something to break with my fists 
           G# 
Take me to war 
    G               Am  E 
Oh, honey, I dare you 
           Am  E  C 
Take me to war 
           Am  E  C 
Take me to war 
           Am  E  C 
Take me to war 
           Am  E  C  Am 
Take me to war
