Dido - White Flag
Track #1, Life For Rent, 2003
It's annoying me that the other versions of this song here don't seem to have the
words precisely right, or to have the chords properly aligned, so I thought I'd
do my own version.
I've transposed it into an easier key to play, as this way all the minor chords
are in the open position. It's also a good key in which to sing it if you're a
high baritone or a soprano, but if you want to play along to the CD then you need
a capo on the 5th fret.

Capo 5
Intro:
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
I'll tell you that
but if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
or return to where we were
but I will go down with this___ ship
and I won't put my hands up and surrender
there will be no white flag above my___ door
I'm in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess
and destruction to come back again
and I cause nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
and if you live by the rules of it's over
then I'm sure that that makes sense
but I will go down with this___ ship
and I won't put my hands up and surrender
there will be no white flag above my___ door
I'm in love and always will be
and when we meet, which I'm sure we will
all that was then, will be there still
I'll let it pass, and hold my tongue
and you will think that I've moved on____
I will go down with this___ ship
and I won't put my hands up and surrender
there will be no white flag above my___ door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this___ ship
and I won't put my hands up and surrender
there will be no white flag above my___ door
I'm in love and always will be
(Just use a single strum at the start of each bar in the final chorus.)
