Intro: Bm D G Bm D D Verse 1: Bm D G My father taught my home is where the hurt is Bm D G So I built a fortress where I lived alone Bm D G He said ships where never meant to have a harbor Bm D G So I've worn his armor, I've fought and flown A I was raised a soldier Put my weapons down to hold you Bm Is a kiss an act of war? F#m I just tried to keep you warm G Even though I couldn't stay No, you never looked away A Now I can't look away G Would you meet me in the middle? D/F# Could we both stop keeping score? A There's a battle I must fight alone Bm But it's you I'm fighting for G If I call off the battalion D/F# Break my walls down stone by stone A Tear down my defenses Bm I could build your heart a home G A And if I did (Bm) Would you come home? ( Bm D G ) ( Bm D D ) Verse 2: Bm D G Together we could quiet all the noises Bm D Drown out the voices G Play our own song Bm D G Boys becoming men under the desert sky Bm D G But something dark inside said it was wrong A I was raised a soldier Put my weapons down to hold you Bm Is a kiss an act of war?

D/F# Could we both stop keeping score? A There's a battle I must fight alone Bm But it's you I'm fighting for G If I call off the battalion D/F# Break my walls down stone by stone A Tear down my defenses Bm I could build your heart a home G A And if I did Bm Would you come home? ( Bm D G ) ( Bm D D ) Final: Bm D G Wish I'd found the words when we were 17 Bm D You were the best of me G You are the best of me
