[Verse 1]
C Gm GmI'm on my sixth Civil War documentary
G C Gm GmAnd I can't take any more US history
G C Gm GmIs it the Adderall or what your leaving did to me
G CWould things Go differently
[Chorus 1]
Gm GmIf we, if we were
G C Gm Gm1865, two states north of the Mason-Dixon line
G CWould you love me in a different time
Gm Gmwould you return from war to pick more fights
G CIf I wrote four years of letters
Gm Gmhoping you weren't gone forever
G CWould we grow old together
GmWould you treat me better
[Instrumental]
G C Gm Gm G C Gm
[Verse 2]
G C Gm GmI read an article on women in '43
G C Gm GmThey left their fears at the door of the factory
G C Gm GmI heard the interviews from widows of Normandy
G CWho still can't afford to sleep
[Chorus 2]
Gm GmIf we, if we were
G C Gm Gm1945 And we've just turned that one last flag to white
G CPraise God that you're still alive
Gm Gmwould you return from war to pick more fights
G CIf I wrote four years of letters
Gm Gmhoping you weren't gone forever
G CWould we grow old together
GmWould you treat me better
[Verse 4]
CDelusion, insanity, lost love
CLife isn't a period drama
GThe end was the bloodshed, the trauma, the hardship
GThe end was enclosed in a casket
CAt the hand, break the bones of another man
CAt the foot of a God and his ugly plans
GSo obsessed with the past out of selfishness
[Verse 5]
Gm GmIf we, if we were
G C Gm Gm1945, so convinced there's still a winning side
G CWouldn't love me in a different time
Gm GmYou'd return from war to pick more fights
G COne hundred years of letters
Gm GmWar still rages on forever
G CSo human, so untethered
[Outro]
Gm G CYou won't treat me better
Gm Gm G CYou can't treat me better?
Gm G C Gm GmWould you treat me better
G CWould we grow old together
GmWould you treat me better
