Pat Benatar - Love is a Battlefield

Originally in Dm, I play in Em

Highest note is the 1 (“searching our hearts for so long”)

Intro

Originally spoken, written here for singing

We are Emyoung, DBmheartache to Cheartache

We sEmtand, DBmno promiCses no deEmmands D

BmLove is a Cbattlefield

Whoa-oa on 5-6 of the chord

EmWhoa whoa wDhoa BmwhoaaaaC

Em

You’re Embegging me go

You’re Dmaking me stay

CWhy do you hurt me so Ambad?

It would Emhelp me to know

Do I sDtand in your way

COr am I the best thing Amyou’ve had?

BeEmlieve, me believe me

I Dcan’t tell you why

But I’m Ctrapped by your love

And I’m Amchained to your side Am7

Em

We’re Emlosing control

Will you Dturn me away

COr touch me deep Aminside?

And beEmfore this gets old

Will it sDtill feel the same?

CThere’s no way this Amwill die

But if Emwe get much

Closer I Dcould lose control

And if Cyour heart surrenders

You’ll Amneed me to hold Am7

Originally a breakdown on the chorus chords, silly to do that acoustic
