Am                                   Bm7-5
If my man was fighting, some unholy war;
              E7
I would be behind him.
           Am                                           Bm7-5
Straight, shook up beside him, with strength he didn't know.
             E7
It's you I'm fighting for.

Chorus:
A#maj7                Am    A#maj7        Am
He can't lose with me in tow, I refuse to let him go.
Dm               Dm7            Gm                F E7
At his side and drunk on pride, we wait for the blow.

We put it in writin'
But who you writin' for?
Just us on kitchen floor
Justice done, recitin'
My stomach standin' still
Like you're readin' my will

Chorus:
He still stands in spite of what his scars say
And I'll battle 'til this bitter finale (Bitter finale)
Just me, my dignity, and this guitar case, woah, woah

Yes, yes, my man's fightin' some unholy war
And I will stand beside you
But who you dyin' for?
B, I would have died, too
I'd like to

If my man was fightin' some unholy war
Yeah, if my man was fightin'
