G Am F Combat, I'm ready for combat G Am F I say I don't want that, but what if I do? G Am F 'Cause cruelty wins in the movies G Am I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches F I almost said to you C Easy they come, easy they go G I jump from the train, I ride off alone Am I never grew up, it's getting so old F Help me hold on to you Chorus: C F I've been the archer, I've been the prey Am Who could ever leave me, darling F But who could stay? Dark side, I search for your dark side But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here? And I cut off my nose just to spite my face Then I hate my reflection for years and years I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost The room is on fire, invisible smoke And all of my heroes die all alone Help me hold on to you Chorus: I've been the archer, I've been the prey Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling But who could stay? (I see right through me, I see right through me) C 'Cause they see right through me, they see right through me G They see right through, can you see right through me? Am They see right through, they see right through me F I see right through, I see right through me All the king's horses, all the king's men Couldn't put me together again 'Cause all of my enemies started out friends Help me hold on to you Chorus: I've been the archer, I've been the prey Who could ever leave me, darling But who could stay? (I see right through me, I see right through me) Who could stay? Who could stay? Who could stay? You could stay You could stay Combat, I'm ready for combat You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
