Intro:
Emadd9 Bsus(b6) B/G D

Verse 1:

Em             D
Used to be a ghost town but even the ghosts got out.
           C
And the sound of the highway died.
           D          Em
There's ashes in the swimming pool.


Verse 2:

Em                                D
I saw you on your wedding night and I watched you sleeping in my arms.
           C
You didn't wash your makeup off.
        D
Woke up looking scared as hell.


Chorus:

  Em                   D
My love won't change. My love won't change. My love won't change a thing.
          C
You're never coming back to me.
          D
You're never coming back at all.
  C                  B7
The waiter made a young girl cry at the table next to mine last night.
   Em         D         Am
And I know you would have brought him to his knees.
      C
But you're overseas.

Verse 3:

Em                         D
It doesn't seem so long ago we thought that we could change their minds.
       C
Stay here and fight it out.
           D
A love that we could weaponize.
Em                          D
But I saw you losing faith and I was watching when the light went out.
     C
Know what revolution means.
           D
And know it's not an option now.


Chorus:

  Em                    D
My love won't change. My love won't change. Our love won't change a thing.
          C               D
I couldn't leave my father here, to finish up his life alone.
 C                  B7
I saw you in our daughter's eyes last night when she caught me in a lie.
   Em          D     Am
And I need you here to make both of us believe.
      C
But you're overseas.


Break:

C                  B7
Does your heart rest easy where you are?
               Em
And do they treat you like a star?
      D      Am
And do they call you refugee?
   C
From overseas.
