I live on a battlefield
C                 G            Em
Surrounded by the ruins of the love we built
C                  G
And then destroyed between us
    Em
The smoke has cleared
     C                   G  
As I stumble through the rubble
    Em            C
I'm dazed, seeing double
              G
And I'm truly mystified

       G         B7
My new home is a shell hole filled
     Em        G
With tears and muddy water
    Em
And bits of broken heart
    G               B7
All around there is desolation
    Em        G
And scenes of devastation
     B7
Of a love been torn apart
            Em             D C     B7
I live on a battlefield
            Em             D C     B7
I live on a battlefield


I live on a battlefield
The one where not one single drop of blood has spilled
Is no less horrifying
Sweet memories, memories
Of a bygone situation
Now shattered lord and battered
Lie scattered all around

My new home is a shell hole filled
With tears and muddy water
Yes and bits of broken heart
All around there is desolation
And scenes of devastation
Of a love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield

Em                  C
Everything that can has gone wrong
G                  B7
(I live on a battlefield)
Em                       C
It's gonna take spine to carry on
G                  B7
(I live on a battlefield)
Em                         C
Like a drowning man coming up for air
G                  B7
(I live on a battlefield)
Em                      C
I'm looking for another survivor
G                      B7
But I can't see one anywhere

       Em      C           G
My new home is filled with muddy water
Em                 C              G
All around there's bits of broken heart
Em          C      G
My world is one of desolation
    C             G
And scenes of devastation
      C          G
There is no consolation
B7
For a love been torn apart
            Em             D C     B7    
I live on a battlefield
            Em             D C     B7 
I live on a battlefield
            Em             D C     B7 
I live on a battlefield, battlefield
            Em           
I live on a battlefield
