War Paint
A few notes:
1. It can be played in Bb or with a capo on 3 in G Major. If you're playing with a capo
and don't know any transposition follow the chart.
Bb, play G major
F, play D major
Gm, play E minor
Eb, play C major
Eb/D, play C/B
2. I prefer to play a Fsus4 instead of an F, but it's personal taste.
Intro
------
Bb F Gm Eb x2
Verse
------
[Pretty Much Repeat F Eb to Gm the whole verse, except for the last time play F to Eb.
Look below for timing]
F Eb
I was starting to shake
Gm
From the days I've been up
There's a lot on my plate
F Eb
And the ones I loved stopped answering
Gm
They left me to find my self
In my own hate
F Eb Gm
I work all alone with a cynical taste
And the day I get out
F
Is the day I'll be made
Eb
I was cut out of stone
Gm
And carved with a blade
F
Head down with all of my hardships
Eb
There's nothing too strong
Gm
That I cant face
F
Don't stop 'till you finally have it
Eb
It should be more like a habit
Chorus
------
Repeat Bb F Gm to Eb the whole Chorus, see below for timing
Bb
Come down,
F
All the fighting's over
Gm Eb
I let you breathe your own air
Bb F Gm
I will set my arms down in a corner
Eb
When I turn around
Bb F
You will tell me how you're up now
Gm
From your dream of clovers
Eb
Said, "not a thing will compare
Bb F Gm
To the sense you give me, and disorder
Eb
When you turn around
F
And I can't breathe"
Verse
------
This verse is kind of wierd, it requires a little bit of memorization
FEGGm
FEGGm
FEGGm
There wasn't a trace
F
Of the war letting up
Eb
And the days went on late
Gm
I struggled
F
And I fell to solid ground
Eb
It led me to my escape
F Eb
Now here I am outside of your gate
I was hoping you could
Chorus
------
Bb F Gm Eb again
Come down,
All the fighting's over
I let you breathe your own air
I will set my arms down in a corner
When I turn around
You will tell me how you're up now
From your dream of clovers
Said, "not a thing will compare
To the sense you give me, and disorder
When you turn around
And I can't breathe"
Bridge

Listen to the song to get this part
EEb/D
EEBbD
EEb/D
Gm
EEb/D
Well, I came to say sorry
EEBbD
I shouldn't have left
EEb/D Gm
But my bitterness got to me
Before you did
EEb/D
And now I'm laying in gardens
EEBbD
Where we start over again
EEb/D Gm
I know that you got me
And this is it
EEb/D
EEb/D
Chorus
Repeat Bb F Gm Eb. End on Bb.
Come down,
All the fighting's over
I let you breathe your own air
I will set my arms down in a corner
When I turn around
You will tell me how you're up now
From your dream of clovers
Said, "not a thing will compare
To the sense you give me, and disorder
When you turn around
And I can't breathe"
