Meg & Dia - Fighting For Nothing Chords
**Didn't figure out the solo part though, sorry!
Capo 2
When I was younger
I wish that I would have known better
Better love makes a fat romance
That lasts for more than a shoe shine
I’m older
Took all the words of my mother
Saying it could be worse, could be born with that disease
Instead of catching it first
So let’s go back
To the first time that I met you
In your Chevy,
With your hands stretched and me crying, screaming
“Mercy. Mercy.”
But I know that I was put here
To fight Vikings in the cold war,
with my arms out in the front lines, singing
“Dare me Dare me.”
But these things take time, love
These things take backbone
And they’ll tell you what you want to hear
'Cause they think it’s better, better
But you better know how to point out the liars
You’ve got to weigh your wars
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing
Are you fighting for nothing, nothing?
It feels like this world has
Been growing slowly upside down
Maybe I should move to China and straighten this mess out
Maybe I’ll be a poet
Watch all the sky for falling words
And write about my grandma’s curtains
Or the lady who put the Chinese buffet in her purse
I’ve got my mouth, It’s a weapon
It’s a bombshell, It’s a cannon
I’ve got my words
I won’t give them, Mercy Mercy
Well these things take time, love
These things take backbone
And they’ll tell you what you want to hear
'Cause they think it’s better, better
But you better know how to point out the liars
You’ve got to weigh your wars
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing
Are you fighting for nothing, nothing?
DURING SOLO:
2x
C#m (one strum each)
I’ve got my words
I hope they hurt you
I hope they scar you
I hope they heal you
I hope they cut you open, make you see you’ve been warring
For all the wrong reasons
Make you see that some things
Are worth bruising for
Make you see that your name
Is your honor code
Make you see that your hands
You’re accounted for
Pick and choose where your sweat
And your blood will go
Make you see your life’s not
To be lived alone
Run their spit through your hair
You’re worth nothing
Nothing
These things take time, love
These things take backbone
And they’ll tell you what you want to hear
'Cause they think it’s better, better
But you better know how to point out the liars
You’ve got to weigh your wars
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing
Well these things take time, love
These things take backbone
And they’ll tell you what you want to hear
'Cause they think it’s better, better
But you better know how to point out the liars
You’ve got to weigh your wars
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing
Are you fighting for nothing, nothing?
