illScarlett - Life of a Soldier

      
 
 Intro: E B F#m C#m A E B
 
 A                    C#m 
 You're at home, I'm away
                  B  
 And if all I can say
                               C#m 
 Is that this boy is still the same
                             A     
 It's the man inside that's changed
               C#m             B   
 Front of the line but still behind
                                C#m 
 Seems like I'm trying way too hard
                             A  
 And like I haven't tried at all
  C#m                               B    
 Hard as stone but feeling all the weight
                 C#m                    A 
 Feeling all the weight that's crushing me
 
 When you come around
               C#m                                        
 You're like a little slice of heaven when I'm coming down
 B                        B    
 Lifting me up above the clouds
 
 E            B             F#m           C#m 
 I'll sleep tonight but the wars far from over
   A         E        B  
 Tomorrow is no guarantee
    E          B             F#m       C#m    
 If I don't return from this life of a soldier
 A              E        B  
 Don't you be crying for me.
 
 A                  
 Throw this all away
 C#m                                                 
 Nothing comes for free at least that's what they say
 B                                      
 If I had the chance I'd do it all again
 C#m                                    
 If I had the chance I'd do it all again
 A                                                      
 Racing against the clock trying to relieve the pressure
 C#m                                   
 Pushing you away so we can be together
 B                                    
 Carry me today I'll carry you forever
 C#m                                             A   
 Let's take a chance and we'll see if this won't last
 C#m                                 B     
 Hard as a stone but feeling all the weight
                  C#m                   A 
 Feeling all the weight that's crushing me
 
 When you come around
                C#m                                       
 You're like a little slice of heaven when I'm coming down
 B                        B     
 Lifting me up above the clouds.
 
 E            B             F#m           C#m 
 I'll sleep tonight but the wars far from over
   A         E        B  
 Tomorrow is no guarantee
    E          B             F#m       C#m    
 If I don't return from this life of a soldier
 A              E        B  
 Don't you be crying for me.
 
           A                       E              
 There's a car pulling up and the man who's inside
  B                                           
 Takes a deep breath as he straightens his tie
  A                           E              
 It's nothing new cause he's done this before
     B                                        
 She knew it as soon as he knocked on the door
  A                            E                 
 Please someone please tell me I must be dreaming
  B                                        
 What will I do oh, I just can't believe it
 A                   E         
 Taken away, oh he's Taken away
  B                                        
 Someone take me away Someone take me away.
