I played this in drop D tuning to add the 'Hard-core' effect. This is a great shows a
simple song can be made cooler :)
4/4 timing 169 beats per minute (around)
Knowing this using a metronome will help timing with this song. To play in a group
that's the hardest area to master!!
With lyrics to differentiate the screams and clean listen to the song and strumming.

Lyrics
Am
we are young
G
heartache to heartache ,we stand
E
no promises,
no demands,
Fm
love is a battlefield
woah, woah, woah [x3]
we are strong (we are strong)
no one can tell us we're wrong
(we're wrong)
searching our hearts for so long
both of our hearts knowing
love is a battlefield
you're making me go
you're making me sigh
why do you hurt me so bad
it would help me know
do i stand in your way
or am i the best thing you had
believe me, believe me
i can't tell you i
but i'm struck by your love
but i'm chained to your side
Chorus
we are young (we are young)
heartache to heartache ,we stand
no promises,
no demands, (demands)
love is a battlefield
(woah thingy)
we are strong (we are strong)
no one can tell us we're wrong
(we're wrong)
searching our hearts for so long
both of our hearts knowing
love is a battlefield
we are losing control
you turn me away
oh touch me deep inside
before this gets old
we still feel the same
theres no way this will die
if we can push closer
I could lose control
if your heart surrenders
you leave me to hold
Chorus
Have fun, comment, like, review :)
