A Civil War

C#


[Verse 1]
F#         A#m           C#
I am a lover of being in charge, though it’s my enemy
F#                    A#m             C#                    D#m
And it sounds unlike me to not be the one with the authority


[Chorus]
             C#              G#
It’s time to bow out of this race
               Fm               F#
‘Bout time for me to be in last place
         C#               G#
I got myself in a civil war
             F#         A#m        G#
It’s time to fight for, fight for
G#
What’s worth fighting for.


[Interlude]
 F#       A#m   G#       C#     A#m      D#sus        C#
(1  2  3  4     1  2  3  4      1  2  3  4            1  2  3  4)


[Verse 2]
F#                  A#m             C#
Joining the lines of those who have raised and flown a white flag
         F#                A#m              C#                  D#m
And I know there is a victory in losing myself and gaining liberty


[Bridge]
   F#        G#          A#m     C#
Surrender is such a hard pill to swallow
   F#        G#          A#m     C#
Surrender is such a hard pill to swallow
   F#        G#     A#m            C#
Surrender is such a bitter pill to swallow
   F#        G#     A#m                 C#
Surrender is such a bitter pill, it’s a bitter pill
       D#m             F#
It’s a bitter pill to swallow
