[intro]

                       Em    A                 D     D
We used to sleep real late,    play our records loud
                Em    A           D         D
Times we were broke,    we'd laugh about it
                          Em    A           D          D
Sometime we'd just leave town,    go down to the shore
                       Em   Em              G            G
Watch the waves close out,     just to be close, to be close

D               Am7               G                     G
  I don't wanna fight anymore, about what we lost, or things we swore
D                      Am7         G    G
  I didn't mean what I said last night
D                             Am7             G                  G
  I love you more than who is right and wrong, I wanna stay, and I made this song
D                             Am7      G    G
  Of all the reasons we don't have to fight
               D    Em-Em7   D    Em-Em7    D    Em-Em7    D    D [stop]
I don't wanna fight

These words we shout, well who's to say
Where they will go when they've gone away
Maybe they hang around with the lonely kids
With a balled-up fist, saying you did this, you did this

I don't wanna fight anymore, about what we lost, or things we swore
I didn't mean what I said last night
I love you more than who is right and wrong, I'm gonna stay, and I made this song
Of all the reasons we don't have to fight
                Bm7   D   Bm7   D   Bm7   D   Em   G   D   D [stop]
I don't wanna fight  [instrumental]

The morning light goes red to gray
On what we've broken and thrown away
If I could just know how to walk away from my pride
Can you help me down, can we put it back, put it back

I don't wanna fight anymore, I don't even know what it started for
I didn't mean what I said last night
I love you more than who is right and wrong, I stayed up late, and I made this song
Of all the reasons we don't have to fight
               D    Em-Em7   D    Em-Em7    D    Em-Em7    D.
I don't wanna fight
