D#m So what am I fighting for F# Everything back and more C# And I’m not gonna let this go A# I’m ready to settle the score D#m Get ready cause this is war. D#m There are days that I think I’m crazy F# Other days nothing seems to faze me. C# There’s nothing more and nothing less just A# All the fears that I must confess well D#m I’m afraid I believe in nothing. F# C# No hopes or dreams you could’ve left me dead. Naive and not to mention A# I’m losing count of all my blessings. B With all that I’ve done, it’s too late A# I can’t take back all that I have become. Chorus: D#m So all that I’m trying to say F# I’m looking for a better way C# Some days it just gets so hard A# And I don’t wanna slip away. D#m So what am I fighting for F# Everything back and more C# And I’m not gonna let this go A# I’m ready to settle the score D#m Get ready cause this is war. Another day in the right direction I’m okay, but I’m left to question How did I get so far behind the rest? Why am I so inclined to forget? All the days that you made me crazy Nowadays, you don’t even faze me It’s all the same, and I don’t stress none Sick and tired of all this tension (with all I've done...) With all that I’ve done, it’s too late I can’t take back all that I have become Chorus F# C# A# D#m Get ready cause this is war F# C# A# D#m Get ready cause this is war Chorus: D#m All that I’m trying to say F# I’m looking for a better way C# Some days it just gets so hard A# And I don’t wanna slip away. D#m So what am I fighting for? F# Everything back and more C# And I’m not gonna let this go A# I’m ready to settle the score D#m Get ready cause this is war. F# I’m looking for a better way C# Some days it just gets so hard A# And I don’t wanna slip away D#m Get ready cause this is war. F# Everything back and more C# And I’m not gonna let this go A# I’m ready to settle the score Get ready cause this is war.
