This is great. But damn you wanna hear something beautiful that will make you cry listen to his intro and live version of heartbreak warfare at hotel cafe in 2009. he plays "war of my life" first. That is the most beautiful version I've ever heard. Not to mention the guitar is phenomenal
holy shit that video is incredible thank you for the recommendation. That version is one of the most if not the most beautiful version of one of his songs.
Wow i loved the intro at the start of this,,, thanks so much for posting, listening to acoustic versions of mayer's songs is like seeing them from a new perspective, so much put in to each performance!
Well, When you can't get through to somebody by loving them your next choice is to get through to them by hurting them :) Lightning strikes Inside my chest to keep me up at night Dream of ways To make you understand my pain Clouds of sulfur in the air Bombs are falling everywhere It's heartbreak warfare Once you want it to begin, No one really ever wins In heartbreak warfare If you want more love why don't you say so?

"when you can't get through to somebody by loving em', the next choice is to get through them by hurting em' and that's what Heartbreak Warfare is about, I don't recommend it.." deep AF..
Great stuff...anyone else see Battle Studies as a concept album? The track listing and the songs sort of a storyline...sort of as a struggle to find peace and compromise betwen two lovers, when they realize that there is no chance of any.
@its4amandicantsleep I actually already saw him when he came to Louisville back in March. I had some great seats and the show was amazing!! So if you're going to see him you've got a good show in store for you.
Sam Ganguly I must say it’s been quite a bit longer and I’m just getting home to the newness of Mr.Mayers new older pieces of gold (songs) it’s a rare musician that makes you think you may have heard the new same song however the only thing the same about his music is him and his constant spherical vibe that’s just always a bit different to hear the passion he puts into his music but also he is as always evolving as one should and he’s one true constant is his humble truth and purity f a great guitarist and a consummate example of a professional musician ever one step ahead and a ethic of work that’s nothing short of amazingly awesome thankyou so very much for being my older friends back to life in a new light your incredible , be well z76
@its4amandicantsleep Yeah I understand that, but I will say that sometimes the beauty in music is not being absolutely perfect every time. That's not to say that you can be atrocious sometimes, but when you're still able to pull it off, there's some beauty in it to an extent.
This was the version I heard for the first time on sirius and it pales in comparison to the album version. Like many have mentioned - where can we get this? And it's not on Storytellers.
I was hoping that this would not be good so that I wont have to download another version of this song. But I guess I cant something bad from John Mayer the Legend. ..sigh..
"When you can't get through to somebody by loving them, the next choice is to get through by hurting them."
LOVE this.
Wtf he literally says that's the worst thing ever wym love this
@@bluesyace9564 prolly the profoundness of such quote, not ironically obeying it hahaha
And that what heartbreak warfare is about
I made a tab for this on ultimate guitar "Heartbreak Warfare Acoustic". Should be just about 100% for this version :)
Ryan b thank u so much
legend
Big Baba Bubu
Big BIG babu babu
Where can find this tab?
I think this version makes you appreciate the lyrics more, its beautiful
A decade later and this still sounds great. Anyone 2019? :)
Seriously. And I often listen to other songs and think "John Mayer should do this one" because he would do it a million times better.
K Riggs imagine mayer doing sheeran songs.... that would be insane
The fans are definitely!!!
And Still in 2020
I just came back from the future... it's still great ;)
Is it only me or EVERY acoustic version he does is WAY better than the album version?! I think this is how it should always be: him and his guitar.
This is a damn good song, and a damn good acoustic version of it.
Damn straight
Divine! He plays the guitar so peacefully!
Lightning strike
Inside, my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain
Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It's heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare
If you want more love,
Why don't you say so?
If you want more love,
Why don't you say so?
Drop his name
Push it in and twist the knife again
Watch my face
As I pretend to feel no pain, pain, pain
Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It's heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare
If you want more love,
Why don't you say so?
If you want more love,
Why don't you say so?
Only John Mayer can cover his song
I love John Mayer so much it hurts
this has to be one of his better vocal performances.
2021 and still thinking this is the best acoustic version of the song i’ve ever heard
What's the most heartbreaking is being surrounded by people but unable to communicate with any of them -- even the one, with the unwavering gaze.
never a truer word spoken. and the best lyrics i have heard in years. the guy is a genius!!
@MrHellahardcore the chords are A and D for the verse and prechorus.
F#m, A and D for the chorus
F and G for the bridge
This is great. But damn you wanna hear something beautiful that will make you cry listen to his intro and live version of heartbreak warfare at hotel cafe in 2009. he plays "war of my life" first. That is the most beautiful version I've ever heard. Not to mention the guitar is phenomenal
GOD DAMN! That was beautiful!!!
jmforlife83 that’s probably one of the best mayer videos there is
holy shit that video is incredible thank you for the recommendation. That version is one of the most if not the most beautiful version of one of his songs.
The little speech in the middle of this performance is pretty heavy...and kinda heartbreaking, too: czcams.com/video/b3GbreZ7rzU/video.html

John thank you so much for helping me get through this tough time in my life. Your music is the only thing keeping me going right now.
O que aconteceu com você a dez ano atrás?
john speaks to us through music with a better timing than the one he has with his guitar, hands down. so much love
Is nobody going to appreciate how he did the bass fill on guitar
Nothing John Mayer does on a guitar surprises me anymore. I swear he has three hands or six fingers on each or something.
@@tiatrips greatest guitar player of his generation, arguably
It sounds like there are 2 guitarists but your point still stands
Nope.
@@AManOfZeroFaith That's a Hendrix thing for sure😃
How is it possible to love someone you’ve never met?
❤️ so much love for jm.
Melhor versão ❤

If you lay your weapon down
Red wine and Ambien

Good to know it's all a game

Sulphur, sir. Maybe next time You should buy the CD instead of using this whole copy-paste thing.
it's both ways, check the facts dude... and correct this then, Yuo Scku lolz
I can't try to correct someone who says "You Scku Lolz"... I'm out.
wow, ur the funniest person ever... u started it, go away, fly man
dude never talk about mom, just shove off man
I love these performances... Gosh, what a genius!
"when you can't get through to somebody by loving em', the next choice is to get through them by hurting em' and that's what Heartbreak Warfare is about, I don't recommend it.."
deep AF..
I remember hearing this song for the first time. Felt like he was singing about my life.
Great stuff...anyone else see Battle Studies as a concept album? The track listing and the songs sort of a storyline...sort of as a struggle to find peace and compromise betwen two lovers, when they realize that there is no chance of any.
I love you, John Mayer!!!!!!!!
what a amaging sound and talent..he's amazing. i'm trying to play like him but sadly it was always failed.
A style is an art that can't be replicated.
Reminds me of the only girl i really loved in my life, and I walked away from her in 2009...
Nooooo
Oh John😭♥️
How to put feelings in words ...such a gifted artist!
2018 and this still helps me get through stuff
John Mayer makes me Happy :)
Mayer is amazing...just...amazing.
Aw John, good advice man. Your lyrics means so much to me, its like the story of my life.
best version 💯
2020 n still loving it
I love the picture of him in the bear suit on the cover of "Heavier Things"! lol!
epic song, listened so much on pandemics
Still a dope ass song!! 2021!!
Never get through by hurting
It indeed never ends well ......
I've gone here so many times to listen to this in the background and today i tabbed back to this youtube page to see this 1:04 omg lol
One of my faves ever!!!!!! 💞💞💞
2021 still rockin it
2024 still rockin it
Beautiful 💜🌹💚⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💚🌹💜
I won't be in a relationship with heartbreak only love
2021 and still agree xxx
Im loving this version! Especially the comment in the beginning
the 4:25 was gracious on the guitar
this song makes me cry :'(
i love that John talks in the beggining XD AWESOME
incredible still, if not more so, 4 years later
i loved the original, and now i think i love the acoustic version more.
@its4amandicantsleep I actually already saw him when he came to Louisville back in March. I had some great seats and the show was amazing!! So if you're going to see him you've got a good show in store for you.
the person that disliked this song has balls... I'm not brave enough to dislike anything by john mayer publicly!!
2:52 to 3:12 is pure gold
My favorite John mayer song acoustic version is good. At least you can hear the guitar better and John plays a men’s guitar!
Anyone in 2019?
anyone noticed that a few seconds at the beginning sounds like How I met your mother?
gold
It's 2019and still
love this
So beautiful
@gajanraj you go between A and A5 and between D7M/F# and a D9/F# for the part "if you want more love..." its F# ,A and D :)
he is underated
Anyone in 2018?
Yeah! Always JM
here good sir
till death
@Something Like Mayer been jamming that track all week. Can't believe another year gone
Sam Ganguly I must say it’s been quite a bit longer and I’m just getting home to the newness of Mr.Mayers new older pieces of gold (songs) it’s a rare musician that makes you think you may have heard the new same song however the only thing the same about his music is him and his constant spherical vibe that’s just always a bit different to hear the passion he puts into his music but also he is as always evolving as one should and he’s one true constant is his humble truth and purity f a great guitarist and a consummate example of a professional musician ever one step ahead and a ethic of work that’s nothing short of amazingly awesome thankyou so very much for being my older friends back to life in a new light your incredible , be well z76
❤️4/04/21 feeling it
John 💙 more more more more love I need it to accept this world💏💑👫✊🖒👌💙💖💙💖💙💖💙
I love it
Crying
The chords almost sound like take a picture by Filter. Good random transition in a concert. :)
He makes you forget all of the awful things that are making 'music' today.
Beautiful :')
Still don't understand why people hate John Mayer HOW DO YOU HATE JOHN MAYER!!!!!???????
Oh yes, how I love all the "heatbreak" warfare...
I like this better then the electric version. Let’s the lyrics really hit home.
So much better than Battle Studies version!
Anyone on april 2019?
Damn good!
@vitor0692 I think so too! Maybe because they feel more personal/intimate, you know?
its 2020 and im gonna make a cover of this song
This was a performance he did on XM Radio.
It’s the John Meyer Bear! 🐻
''it doesn't end well''
Whos watching in 2017
Who's watching in 2018?
+John Walker me ;)
@its4amandicantsleep Yeah I understand that, but I will say that sometimes the beauty in music is not being absolutely perfect every time. That's not to say that you can be atrocious sometimes, but when you're still able to pull it off, there's some beauty in it to an extent.
@Smartiesvreter thankkkkkk youuuuuu ! :D
Anyone in 2019? Haha
Get on my level
That line about nuclear war is a bit dramatic. Great stuff
Lindoooooooo demais s2
This was the version I heard for the first time on sirius and it pales in comparison to the album version. Like many have mentioned - where can we get this? And it's not on Storytellers.
@kimlin
Yeah this sounds very intimate too IMO.
John Mayer Assassin Music Video Now up On CZcams
If you want more love,
why don't you say so? (but, it doesn't end though,.)
2022 anyone?
I was hoping that this would not be good so that I wont have to download another version of this song. But I guess I cant something bad from John Mayer the Legend. ..sigh..
anyone 21st march 2020? Awesome song!
