Introdução:
A D E F#m
Through rolling hills and many miles of blood
A D E F#m
We slept in the rainfall and marched through the mud
A D E F#m
And you were not like anyone I'd known
A D E F#m
You spoke with impunity, had nothing to atone
A E F#m D
In quiet evenings you told me what you thought about
A D E F#m
Servants and kings and how everyone is bought
A E F#m D
And how no one's hands are bloodier than God's
A D E A
And I won't be judged for doing as I ought
D E F#m
It's hard to say just when I fell in love
A D E F#m
There was no epiphany, no light from above
A D E F#m
But you'd become my candle in the dark
A D E F#m
And all through that hell you were the shield across my heart
A E F#m D
When all was fire, and the weather's out for blood
A D E F#m
And the boys, still too young to drink, were drowned in the flood
A E F#m D
I'd hear you laughing as I'd come on out for air
A D E A
And I'd laugh with you, pretending that we care
A D4 D
Now twenty years have passed since the last time I saw you
A D4 D
When I kissed you on the mouth you walked away
A D4 D
I knew that it'd be too much, I knew that it would scare you
A D4 D
But I couldn't find the proper words for what I had to say
A
But I don't regret a thing
