A Capella
Verse 1:
It's been the coldest year I can remember,
and the leaves just started turning brown.
So when you see my white flag waving,
would you please lay your weapons down

Verse 2:
              D#m7     C#            B    B/Bb
It's been the hardest battle in the camp-aign
            B                 F#      C#sus4-C#
And there's still no proof of gaining ground
   D#m           C#         B     F#
So when my scars bloom like roses
       D#m            C#      D#m
Can we please lay the weapons down

Interlude:
       B                F#       C#sus4-C#
Are we fighting for the same thi-ing
       B              F#      C#sus4-C#
or are you just gonna wear me down
      D#m     C#         G#m     F#          B      F#
Cause I don't think I'll make it through the Winter
       D#m          C#      D#m
If you won't let me talk it out

Verse 3:
              D#m7    C#                 B      B/Bb
It's been the longest time I've gone without you
       B             F#       C#sus4-C#
And in moments I can part the clouds
  D#m              C#            B     F#
I never thought my mind could be sober
         D#m                C#      D#m
But I've learned to lay the lion do-wn

Interlude 2:

           B                F#       C#sus4-C#
We've been fighting for the same thi-ing
           B              F#       C#sus4-C#
and you've worn all my de-fenses out
  D#m   C#         G#m     F#     B   F#
I never would have made it to she-lter
       D#m    C#        D#m
If you hadn't broken me down

A Capella
Verse 4:
It's been a year I'd rather not remember,
but the memories where the answer's found
I know you see my white flag waving;
Would you please lay your weapons down
