This Is War

Tom: Bm

Bm
Welcome
To the city
         G
Said a young man
Sitting next to me
             Bm
Heard you're new in town
Before you get around
           G                  A
Here's a little tip from me
(one strum upwards in A before switching to Bm)

[Verse]
Bm
Best stick to yourself
No matter where you go
       G
Just watch your back
And hold your own
    F#m
And if after that
Trouble's knockin' at your door
     G
Remember my friend
                           Bm
It's a town we're fighting for

[Verse]
Bm
Welcome
To your paradise
          G
Where the little man
Pays a bigger price
    Bm
Take another hit
Just get it over with
        G                   A
We're a little sick you see

[Chorus]
Bm
Can't stay down no more
We gotta make it known
   G
So get back up
You're not alone
    F#m
And then hit 'em back
Leave 'em grippin' to the floor
    G
You never had a choice
They're knockin' at your door
   F#m
Remember my friend
It's time
            Bm
And this is war
F#m                         Bm
   It's time and this is war
  G       A         Bm
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

[Verse]
Bm
Welcome
To the untold
       G
Take a deep breathe
Take the higher road
               Bm
It's what they always say
As if they know the way
           G                A
They won't take it from me

[Chorus]
Bm
But don't ever doubt yourself
'Cause life ain't just a dream
    G
You make your own
So kick and scream
    F#m
The people will act
With a never ending force
    G
You never had the chance
So whatcha' waitin' for?
    F#m
The day has come my friend
               Bm
'Cause this is war
F#m                      Bm
   It's time and this is war
  G       A         Bm
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar
