A Capella 
verse 1: 
It's been the coldest year I can remember, 
and the leaves just started turning brown. 
So when you see my white flag waving, 
would you please lay your weapons down 

verse 2: 
              D#m7     C#            B    B/Bb 
It's been the hardest battle in the camp-aign 
            B                 F#      C#sus4-C# 
And there's still no proof of gaining ground 
   D#m           C#         B     F# 
So when my scars bloom like roses 
       D#m            C#      D#m 
Can we please lay the weapons down 

Interlude: 
       B                F#       C#sus4-C# 
Are we fighting for the same thi-ing 
       B              F#      C#sus4-C# 
or are you just gonna wear me down 
      D#m     C#         G#m     F#          B      F# 
Cause I don't think I'll make it through the Winter 
       D#m          C#      D#m 
If you won't let me talk it out 

verse 3: 
              D#m7    C#                 B      B/Bb 
It's been the longest time I've gone without you 
       B             F#       C#sus4-C# 
And in moments I can part the clouds 
  D#m              C#            B     F# 
I never thought my mind could be sober 
         D#m                C#      D#m 
But I've learned to lay the lion do-wn 

Interlude 2: 

           B                F#       C#sus4-C# 
We've been fighting for the same thi-ing 
           B              F#       C#sus4-C# 
and you've worn all my de-fenses out 
  D#m   C#         G#m     F#     B   F# 
I never would have made it to she-lter 
       D#m    C#        D#m 
If you hadn't broken me down 

A Capella 
verse 4: 
It's been a year I'd rather not remember, 
but the memories where the answer's found 
I know you see my white flag waving; 
Would you please lay your weapons down
