[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G D
It was true what they said
G C
About me and you, how we were misled
Em D
I was so common, you were not bothered
C G
We dressed it up, divide and conquer
G D
Town to town, we went hard
G C
Parked at the hotel, slept in our car
Em D
I'll tell a joke, you sway and saunter
C G
We found a way, divide and conquer
G7
[Chorus]
C
Well, I was waiting for some bravery that never showed up
D
Just messing around with a stick of dumb luck
G
Dancing on the table just a-cutting it up
C
Singing in the living room and falling in love
Am
Shut you out 'cause you wouldn't shut up
D
Cut me down 'til I couldn't get up
G
Laughing at thе brevity of life on the run
G7
Howling 'causе my dad will never meet my son
C D
Conquer, divide and conquer
D Em
We went wading through the water
C G
Lay it on the altar
D C
Dressed for slaughter
D G
Divide and conquer
[Verse 2]
G D
All that time we spent together
G
What once could fly
C
Now just a fallen feather
Em
Then the sickness came
D
Then came the weather
C G
Tossed and torn 'til we came untethered
G
What did we learn?
D
What did we reap?
G
We both took turns
C
Now the hill's too steep
Em
I'll take the boy
D
You take the daughter
C
It just made sense
G
Divide and conquer
G7
[Chorus]
C
Well, I was waiting for some bravery that never showed up
D
Just messing around with a stick of dumb luck
G
Dancing on the table just a-cutting it up
C
Singing in the living room and falling in love
Am
Shut you out 'cause you wouldn't shut up
D
Cut me down 'til I couldn't get up
G
Laughing at thе brevity of life on the run
G7
Tore a page right out of Annie Get Your Gun
C D
Conquer, divide and conquer
D Em
We went wading through the water
C G
Lay it on the altar
D C
Dressed for slaughter
D Em
Divide and conquer
G Em D
[Verse 3]
G
Can we go back?
D
To when we both could see
G
How good it was
C
How good it could be
Em
Just a nowhere boy
D
Holding hands with a songbird
C
'Fore we were blinded by time
G
'Fore we divided and conquered
G
Can you still see me?
D
Or are we just myth?
G C
What once moved like water became a monolith
Em D
No longer free but somehow stronger
C G
Come back to me, here is my armor
G7
[Chorus]
C
Well, I was waiting for some bravery that never showed up
D
Just messing around with a stick of dumb luck
G
Dancing on the table just a-cutting it up
C
Singing in the living room and falling in love
Am
Shut you out 'cause you wouldn't shut up
D
Cut me down 'til I couldn't get up
G
Laughing at thе brevity of life on the run
G7
Howling 'causе my dad will never meet my son
C D
Conquer, divide and conquer
D Em
We went wading through the water
C G
Lay it on the altar
D C
Dressed for slaughter
D G
Divide and conquer
