Battleground Lyrics by Slash

World On Fire

2014

[Verse 1]
One more shot across the bow
One more bullet through the heart
You got me bleeding on the ground
I've got you wounded in the dark

Why do we always
Take this way too far?

[Chorus]
Surrender tonight
There's time, save tomorrow
Mama, don't you let me down
This broken alliance
Leaves me so hollow
And wondering how
Yeah
Did the bed that we made
Become our battleground?

[Verse 2]
Well the damage has been done
I know you hurt, so don't pretend
Where we're used to making love
Now we're making war instead, oh

Before it's too late
Lay your arms down, let me in

[Chorus]
Surrender tonight
There's time, save tomorrow
Mama, don't you let me down
This broken alliance
Leaves me so hollow
And wondering how
Did the bed that we made
Become our battleground?

[Bridge]
Just hold your fire
Long enough to see
This ain't how it's supposed to be
Once all that we've got is lost
The walls will fall
Please don't let them fall on me

[Solo]

[Outro]
I, I wanna lay you down
Surrender all the sorrow
The sorrow
Wanna lay you down
Surrender till it's gone

I wanna lay you down surrender
Till tomorrow
Tomorrow
Wanna lay you down surrender till it's gone
La la la la..
La la la
Just surrender till it's gone
La la la
La la la
La la la
Just surrender till it's gone

La la la..
La la la..
La la la..
I don't wanna fight no more
La la la..
La la la..
Say yeah
I can feel it all there
I wanna tell you right just then and there, oh
Say yeah
La la la..
La la la..
La la la..
Say yeah
I don't wanna fight this battle anymore
