[Verse]
           E                A
Come out angels, come out ghosts,
           C#m                          A
Come out darkness, bring everyone you know.
           E                A
I'm not running, I'm not scared,
        C#m             A
I am waiting, and well prepared.
[Chorus]
E                       A
I'm in the war of my life,
                   C#m
At the door of my life,
                        A               E
Out of time and there's nowhere to run...
[Verse]
E                                  A
I've got a hammer, and a heart of glass,
        C#m                             A
I got to know right now, which walls to smash.
        E               A
I got a pocket, got no pill
                C#m                             A
If fear hasn't killed me yet, then nothing will.
[Bridge]
A       B              C#m    A
All the suffering, and all the pain,
A               B
Never left a name or...
[Chorus]
E                       A
I'm in the war of my life,
                        C#m
At the door of my life,
                        A                
Out of time and there's nowhere to run.
E                       A
I'm in the war of my life,
                   C#m
At the core of my life,
                           A
I've got no choice but to fight 'til it's done.
[Bridge]
A       B
No more suffering.
C#m     A
No more pain.
A       B
Never again.

I'm in the war of my life,

At the door of my life,

I'm in the war of my life.

I'm at the core of my life.
                        A
Got no choice but to fight 'til it's done.
         E              A              C#m
So fight on, fight on everyone; fight on.
                        A
Got no choice but to fight 'til it's done.
      E                 A
Fight on, fight on everyone.
      C#m                       A
Fight on, got no choice, but it's a fight 'til it's done.
          E
So fight on...
