Meg & Dia - Fighting For Nothing Chords
**Didn't figure out the solo part though, sorry!

Capo 2


           C#mWhen I was younger
                               AI wish that I would have known better
                            EBetter love makes a fat romance

That lasts for more than a shoe shine

    C#mI’m older
                         ATook all the words of my mother
                    ESaying it could be worse, could be born with that disease
 BInstead of catching it first



 C#mSo let’s go back 
                         ATo the first time that I met you

In your Chevy,
          EWith your hands stretched and me crying, screaming
B“Mercy. Mercy.”

 C#mBut I know that I was put here
        ATo fight Vikings in the cold war, 
 Ewith my arms out in the front lines, singing
 B“Dare me Dare me.”


                Asus2But these things take time, love
             EThese things take backbone
           C#mAnd they’ll tell you what you want to hear
                      B       B'Cause they think it’s better, better
              Asus2                       EBut you better know how to point out the liars
 C#mYou’ve got to weigh your wars 
                                 B       BMake sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing
                     AAre you fighting for nothing, nothing?


                  C#mIt feels like this world has 
                   ABeen growing slowly upside down
                      EMaybe I should move to China and straighten this mess out
               C#mMaybe I’ll be a poet
                      AWatch all the sky for falling words
                             EAnd write about my grandma’s curtains
                                BOr the lady who put the Chinese buffet in her purse

       C#mI’ve got my mouth, It’s a weapon
      AIt’s a bombshell, It’s a cannon
         EI’ve got my words
                   B      BI won’t give them, Mercy Mercy



                 Asus2Well these things take time, love
             EThese things take backbone
           C#mAnd they’ll tell you what you want to hear
                      B       B'Cause they think it’s better, better
              Asus2                       EBut you better know how to point out the liars
 C#mYou’ve got to weigh your wars 
                                 B       BMake sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing
                     AAre you fighting for nothing, nothing?



DURING SOLO: 
C#m   A    E    B  2x



     C#m (one strum each)
I’ve got my words 
       AI hope they hurt you
          EI hope they scar you
        BI hope they heal you


            C#mI hope they cut you open, make you see you’ve been warring
 AFor all the wrong reasons
Make you see that some things
EAre worth bruising for
Make you see that your name
        BIs your honor code
Make you see that your hands
            C#mYou’re accounted for
Pick and choose where your sweat
         AAnd your blood will go
Make you see your life’s not
  ETo be lived alone

Run their spit through your hair
                BYou’re worth nothing
 BNothing


                 Asus2These things take time, love
