Intro: [C]
Verse 1:
[G] [Am] Combat, I'm ready for [F] combat
I say I don't [G] want [Am] that, but what if I [F] do?
'Cause [G] cruelty[Am] wins in the [F] movies
I've got a[G] hundred
thrown-out [Am] speeches I almost [F] said to you
Pre-Chorus:
[C] Easy they come, easy they go
I [G] jump from the train, I ride off alone
I [Am] never grew up, it's getting so old
[F] Help me hold on to you
Chorus:
I've been the [C] archer, I've [G] been the [F] prey
Who could ever [Am] leave me, darling
But [G] who could [F] stay?
Verse 2:
[G] Dark [Am] side, I search for your [F] dark side
But what if I'm [G] alright, [Am] right, right, [F] right here?
And I [G] cut off[Am] my nose just to [F] spite my face
Then I hate my [G] reflection[Am] for years and [F] years
Pre-Chorus:
I [C] wake in the night, I pace like a ghost
The [G] room is on fire, invisible smoke
And [Am] all of my heroes die all alone
[F] Help me hold on to you
Chorus:
I've been the [C] archer, I've [G] been the [F] prey
Screaming, who could ever [Am] leave me, darling
But [G] who could [F] stay?
(I see right through me, I see right through me)
Bridge:
'Cause [C] they see right through me
[C] They see right through me
[G] They see right through
Can [G] you see right through me?
[Am] They see right through
[Am] They see right through me
[F] I see right through me
[F] I see right through me
Pre-Chorus:
[C] All the king's horses, all the king's men
[G] Couldn't put me together again
'Cause [Am] all of my enemies started out friends
[F] Help me hold on to you
Chorus:
I've been the [C] archer, I've [G] been the [F] prey
Who could ever [Am] leave me, darling
But [G] who could [F] stay?
(I see right through me, I see right through me)
Who [C] could stay?
[G] Who could [F] stay?
Who could [Am] stay?
[G] You could [F] stay
You could [C] stay… [G] [F]
Outro:
[Am] Combat, I'm [G] ready for [F] combat [C/G]
