[Verse 1]
G#m B F#I'll wave the white flag if tomorrow you'll take me
C# G#mOut where the bluebirds sing
B F#Tell me I'm all you wanted
C# G#mBut it gets hard to breathe
B F#mWhen I feel you looking my way
C# G#mI don't know how to land
B F#If I Go to Heaven with you
C# G#mYou'll have to hold my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m B F# C#And I take it all back, mm-mm
G#m B C# F#And I take it all back, ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
G#m7 BI'm not a patriot, but I'd fight a war for you
B F#As long as you promise the uniform's not navy blue
G#m7 BI braid my hair before bed, kind of believe in Jesus
And you smoke too many American Spirits
E B
[Verse 2]
G#m B F#I held my knees close in a sweaty surrender
C#Watching a morning dove
G#m BFelt like two birds of a feather
F# C# G#m7Fighting the urge to run
BHe said he was gonna protect me
F# C#Thought I was safe and sound
G#m B F#Red cheeks in the face of a sinner
C#Blood on the hunting ground
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m B F# C#And I take it all back, mm-mm
G#m B C# F#And I take it all back, ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
G#m7 BI'm not a patriot, but I'd fight a war for you
B F#As long as you promise the uniform's not navy blue
G#m7 BI braid my hair before bed, kind of believe in Jesus
And you smoke too many (many, many)
G#m G# F#
[Bridge]
G#m7 BDon't pretend that I left you behind
You weren't mine at all
F# G#m7 BI wish I felt good about goodbye
F# BBut the cage was too small
[Outro]
F# G#m7 BDon't pretend that I left you behind (I'm not a patriot, but I'd fight a war for you)
(As long as you promise the uniform's not navy blue) You weren't mine at all
F# G#m7 BI wish I felt good about goodbye (I braid my hair before bed, kind of believe in Jesus)
(And you smoke too many American Spirits) But the cage was too small
G#m7 B F#
