Fighting For Nothing Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 When I was C♯myounger

 I wish that I would have known Abetter

 Better love makes a fat romaEnce

That lasts for more than a shoe shine

 I’m C♯molder

 Took all the words of my Amother

 Saying it could be wEorse, could be born with that disease

 IBnstead of catching it first

 SC♯mo let’s go back

 To the first time that I Amet you

In your Chevy,

 With your Ehands stretched and me crying, screaming

B“Mercy. Mercy.”

 BC♯mut I know that I was put here

 To fightA Vikings in the cold war,

 wEith my arms out in the front lines, singing

 “BDare me Dare me.”

 But these thingsAsus2 take time, love

 These things Etake backbone

 And they’llC♯m tell you what you want to hear

 'Cause they think it’sB better,B better

 But you betterAsus2 know how to point out the lEiars

 YC♯mou’ve got to weigh your wars

 Make sure you’re not fighting forB nothingB, nothing

 Are you fighting for Anothing, nothing?

 It feels like thisC♯m world has

 Been growing slowlyA upside down

 Maybe I should move toE China and straighten this mess out

 Maybe I’ll be aC♯m poet

 Watch all the sky for Afalling words

 And write about my grandma’s Ecurtains

 Or the lady who put the Chinese Bbuffet in her purse

 I’ve goC♯mt my mouth, It’s a weapon

 It’s aA bombshell, It’s a cannon

 I’ve got Emy words

 I won’t give them, BMercy MBercy

 Well these thingsAsus2 take time, love

 These things Etake backbone

 And they’llC♯m tell you what you want to hear

 'Cause they think it’sB better,B better

 But you betterAsus2 know how to point out the lEiars

 YC♯mou’ve got to weigh your wars

 Make sure you’re not fighting forB nothingB, nothing

 Are you fighting for Anothing, nothing?

During solo

C♯m A E B 2x

 I’ve C♯mgot my words

 I hope Athey hurt you

 I hope theEy scar you

 I hope tBhey heal you

 I hope they C♯mcut you open, make you see you’ve been warring

 FAor all the wrong reasons

Make you see that some things

EAre worth bruising for

Make you see that your name

 Is your Bhonor code

Make you see that your hands

 You’re accouC♯mnted for

Pick and choose where your sweat

 And your Ablood will go

Make you see your life’s not

 ToE be lived alone

Run their spit through your hair

 You’re worth notBhing
