[Intro]
D A D
[Verse 1]
D A DTake aim boys, but be sure that it's true
A DEvery man must learn to stand square in the crossheads of truth
G DToday will be a day we shall remember for all of our lives
G DAll bets are off, our debts are forgiven tonight
G AOur best messenger was sent, but alas he was hit
Bm ATaking word up to the front lines
D AAs we were trying to save the world
DOne soul at a time
[Verse 2]
D A DWith our surest foot forward we ushered in our last golden age
A DShoulder to shoulder and onward into the fray
GBut with the tip of your head
DWas it as easy as that to resign?
GYou thought no one believed
DIn the dreams you fought so hard to find
GIt was slow going work
ABut it was working nonetheless
D Bm DAnd they paid us in nickels and dimes
AWe were trying to save the world
GOne soul at a time
[Interlude]
G A D
[Verse 3]
DYou can't believe everything
A DThat proceeds from the mouths of men
AHistory's pages are penned
DBy the winning team's hand
GIn idealistic ditches
DWe dug ourselves in for the fight
GWe lit fires of faith
DThat burned with fire God's furious life
GAnd we were soldiers for hire
ABut we knew not to fire
D Bm DTill we'd seen the whites of their eyes
ACause we were trying to save the world
DOne soul at a time
[Outro]
D AYeah, we've been trying to save the world
DOne soul at a time
AI keep trying to save the world
DOne soul at a time
