Intro x2
Dm A#
F C
Shot down, by your bullets
F C
They shatter, my faith and my bones
A#
If you would listen, your words they hurt
F
They creep right under my skin
C
They cut so deep, oh
Gm A# Dm
Can't you understand, I don't want battles, battles, battles
Gm A#
And if you lay them in my hand
Dm
I won't fight battles, battles, battles
A# F
Oh tell me why
C A#
We work so hard to break these bones
A# F C
Can we try, to lay down
Dm
These sticks and stones,
A#
Sticks and stones,
F C
We crash and fall, together
F C
So sad, we don't remember
A#
Why we're tearing us apart
F C
When I can feel the cries, the cries in my heart,
Gm A# Dm
Can't you understand, I don't want battles, battles, battles
Gm A#
And if you lay them in my hand
Dm
I won't fight battles, battles, battles
A# F
Oh tell me why
C A#
We work so hard to break these bones
A# F C
Can we try, to lay down
Dm
These sticks and stones,
A#
Sticks and stones,
Dm ...... A#

Why does it have to be so hard just surrender
A#
When we got nothing left, nothing left to loose
Gm A# Dm
Can't you understand, I don't want battles, battles, battles

I won't fight battles, battles, battles

We work so hard to break these bones
