Lyrics

D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
D C#m Bm Bm C#m D

D C#m Bm Bm C#m D D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
I’m trying to make peace, and you’re not making it easy
G Em D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
Tell me darlin does it take some time to learn how to be kind
G Em D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
Tell me what is really on your mind and maybe we’d be fine

D C#m Bm Bm C#m D D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
I’m feeling out of place, on the receiving end of your hate
G Em D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
At least I can say that I tried, but damn your stupid pride


Chorus
G Bm G Bm
I’m waving a white flag honest, I’ll lay down my arms I promise
G D Bm
I don’t care about what’s right or wrong
G Em D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
I only want to move on

D C#m Bm Bm C#m D D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
I’m trying to make nice, I’m trying not to give in to my vices
G Em D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
I’m strong enough to look you in the eye but you won’t look into mine
G Em D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
For someone who I used to idolize, you sure scaled down to size

Chorus
G Bm G Bm
But I’m waving a white flag honest, I’ll lay down my weapons I promise
G D Bm
I don’t care about who did what wrong
G Em
I only want to move

D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
Onward from this emptiness I feel when I’m with you
D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
Onward into something much more beautiful and new
D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
It’s difficult to move on from a life I got used to
D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
It hurts but that’s what growing pains are meant to do

G Bm A Bm A
I’m choosing a quiet type of vengeance for the pain that you brought
G Bm A Bm A
I gotta be the bigger person thankfully I’m bigger than you thought

G Bm
You’re burning all my white flags and I feel like I can’t breathe
G Bm
Cuz the ashes that remain were our last hope for peace and
G Bm
I’ve been right here all along but you were not able to see
G Em D C#m Bm Bm C#m D
When you set fire to my white flag you burned me
