Key: E
Introduction:
E B B/E
I pull my boots off,
A2 A/C#
Throw my weapon on the floor
E B/E
I cry my eyes out
A2 A/C#
In my private little war
E
Well it seems I've been a soldier
B/E
Heaven knows I've been no saint
A2
With my camouflage and armor
A/C#
Cold heart and grease paint
E
To you this has no meaning
B/E
The armistice laid down
A2
The armies all are quiet
A/C#
And the guns don't make a sound, 'cause you..
CHORUS
E C#m7
You melted the steel walls, tore down the bobwire
Bm7 A2 C9
filled in the trenches, demanded a ceasefire
E C#m7
And now you're leavin', there's nothin' I can do
Bm7 A2 C9
I want you to know, you're gonna take me with you
Well now feel the match on suicide in the foxhole of my mind
C#m D E
The blood that was spilled in the heartache before
C#m A2 B E
Left on massive scars, that I never, never could ignore to you
