Battle Tab

by Colbie Caillat


It's mostly picking notes out of those chords throughout the song 
CAPO 4th fret... all chord names referred to are going to be just positions relative to the capo

Em (0,2,2,0,0,0)
F#/D(2,0,0,2,3,2)
Cadd9 (x,3,2,0,3,0)
G (3,2,0,0,3,3)
F#/Dsus4 ( 2,0,0,2,3,3)
Cadd9* (x,3,2,0,3,3)
Am (x,0,2,2,1,0)
Bm (x,2,4,4,3,2)

the F#/D(2,0,0,2,3,2) can be substituted with an F#/Dadd9 (2,0,0,2,3,0)


Here's a picking pattern I play for the verse

            /                
|-----------------------------0-----------0-----|
|------0-----------3------------3----------3----|
|---0---0-------2---2------0------0----0----0---|
|--2-2---2-----0-0---0----2-2---------2-2-------|
|---------2-----------0--3----------3-----------|
|0------------2---------------------------------|

Verse:

           /    
You thought we'd be fine

        /       
All these years gone by

                     /                           
Now you're asking me to listen well then tell me bout everything

            /   
No lies, We're losing time

Chorus:
                
cause this is a battle

             /   *   
and its your final last call

          
it was a trial

           /   * 
you made a mistake we know


               
why aren't you sorry

                   *
why aren't you sorry why

               
this could get better

          /
we can be happy

   *
try


Verse:
Em              F#/D    Cadd9 (play this for the rest of the verse)
you've got them on your side
and they wont change their minds
now its over and I'm feeling like I missed out on everything
I just hope It's worth the fight
