Dido - White Flag
Track #1, Life For Rent, 2003
I've transposed it into an easier key to play, as this way all the minor chords
are in the open position. It's also a good key in which to sing it if you're a
high baritone or a soprano, but if you want to play along to the CD then you need
a capo on the 5th fret.

Intro
[C] [Em] [C] [Em]
Verse 1
[Am]
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
[Em]
Or tell you that
[Am]
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
[Em]
Where's the sense in that?
Pre-Chorus 1
[G]
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
[Dm] [Em]
Or return to where we were
Chorus
[F] [C]
But I will go down with this ship
[Dm] [Am]
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
[F] [C]
There will be no white flag above my door
[G] [Dm]
I'm in love and always will be
Verse 2
[Am]
I know I left too much mess
[Em]
And destruction to come back again
[Am]
And I cause nothing but trouble
[Em]
I understand if you can't talk to me again
Pre-Chorus 2
[G]
And if you live by the rules of it's over
[Dm] [Em]
Then I'm sure that that makes sense
Chorus

But I will go down with this ship
[Dm] [Am]
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
[F] [C]
There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be
Bridge
[C]
And when we meet, which I'm sure we will
[Em]
All that was then, will be there still
[Dm]
I'll let it pass, and hold my tongue
[G]
And you will think that I've moved on
Chorus
[F] [C]
But I will go down with this ship
[Dm] [Am]
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
[F] [C]
There will be no white flag above my door
[G] [Dm]
I'm in love and always will be

And I won't put my hands up and surrender
[F] [C]
There will be no white flag above my door
[G] [Dm]
I'm in love and always will be
[F]* [C]*
But I will go down with this ship
[Dm]* [Am]*
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
[F]* [C]*
There will be no white flag above my door
[G]* [Dm]*
I'm in love and always will be
