The main theme is basically: F F FFFG... (1 1 1113 ...) played on the lower E string, so the simplest chord
progression would be just E and F#m.
A quick and dirty interpretation of the song. I just tried to play this song for the first time so it's not
nearly perfect, but it should give you a basic idea and something to start with.
[Intro]
E F#m ...
E F#m
[Verse]
F#m E
When I opened my eyes what did I see
F#m E
Falling from the skies in front of me
Bm
Not quite but close
F#m Bm
As though I'd seen a ghost
F#m E
Was it too much, to feel the touch
F#m E
Of someone that you couldn't love
F#m Bm
Cause someone that comes and goes
E
Ohh...
[Chorus]
D E
So how are you I'm doing well
F#m E
I'm fighting tears you couldn't tell
Bm D F#m
I'm not as strong as you thought I was
D E
When you fall down do you hear the sound
F#m
Of broken dreams, hitting the ground
D E F#m
Baby please we're casualties of war
[Verse]
F#m E F#m
You lost the fight I heard it was a good fight
E F#m
The kind that no one wins and no ones right
Bm
I could have walked away
F#m Bm
I should have walked away
F#m E
You always had a habit of keeping score
F#m E F#m
You might have won the battle but not the war
E F#m
What goes around comes around
E
ten fold
[Chorus]
D E
So how are you I'm doing well
F#m E
I'm fighting tears you couldn't tell
Bm D F#m
I'm not as strong as you thought I was
D E
When you fall down do you hear the sound
F#m
Of broken dreams, hitting the ground
D E F#m
Baby please we're casualties of war
[Bridge]
E F#m ...
E F#m
[Chorus]
D E
So how are you I'm doing well
F#m E
I'm fighting tears you couldn't tell
Bm D F#m
I'm not as strong as you thought I was
D E
When you fall down do you hear the sound
F#m
Of broken dreams, hitting the ground
D E F#m
Baby please we're casualties of war
D E
When you fall down do you hear the sound
F#m
Of broken dreams, hitting the ground
D E F#m
Baby please we're casualties of war
F#m ... (ring out)
