Hey there! This is my first tab, so there might be a few errors. Plus I had to figure
this out based on mobile phone recordings of the live (and only) version, so it wasn t easy!

This is the song that Chord Overstreet wrote and performed live at The Roxy on July 13th
2013. His original song, he dedicated to Cory Monteith. I love them both, and wanted to
help people learn this amazing, albeit sad song.
RIP, Cory.

Don t know if this section makes sense, but just play around with it, tweaking a C chord
with your pinky on the 3rd fret, second string. Good luck!

CAPO ON 2nd
(INTRO)
- - -
(VERSE 1)
Running out, out of space
Searching for a new hiding place
Where I can escape
Someone to run to
And leave behind memories
And pictures framed of you
(PRE-CHORUS I)
Now it may be hard to sleep at night
But I just close my eyes and wait for the light
(CHORUS I)
Thereâs a war going on
Hits me deep in my bones
I can still struggle now
From just being alone
Well itâs another heartache
If youâve been through it breaking
Thereâs never a love like before
And you can cry if you want
- - -
But itâs not going to stop this war
(VERSE 2)
What would you say
If i take you back
What would you say
If i forgave you for that
In a moment of weakness
I could see you play it out
But you didnât lose a love again
Iâll tell you that now
(PRE-CHORUS II)
Itâs better than the silence of being alone
The risk in the nights you spend sleeping by the phone
(CHORUS II)
Thereâs a war going on
Hits me deep in my bones
I can still struggle now
From just being alone
Well itâs another heartache
If youâve been through it breaking
Thereâs never a love like before
No thereâs never a love like before
You can cry if you want
- - -
But itâs not going to stop this war
- - -
(BRIDGE)
Gotta try to keep on living for each day
A moment can come, a moment can go and itâs too late
Take this time to live here before it goes away
Make sure you leave never wanting more
And you can cry if you want
But itâs not going to stop this war

For Cory Monteith.
