C Cadd9 Em Follow the march of the battle drum
AmAnd bury the questions where they came from
F F6Just pretend if I’m starting to regret it tomorrow
C Killing it all
Cadd9 Em AmPush it back down every time but still I felt it rise
FFrom the trenches the stolen happy endings I chased
[Pre-Chorus]
F6 CCause I can’t conquer this without you, these bullets still won't get through
EmBut I’m still crashing down cause there’s more walls I need to break through
Am FI Do this to myself every time cause that’s the only way that I survivе
[Chorus]
C Em So cover up my flaws
AmAnd run when you hear my call in thе night
FCause lately I’ve been caught in the middle and I’m just getting older
C Em Will you be there to stop my fall
AmI know you’ve seen it all in my eyes
F N.C.
So break down the lies cause I know that I could never be the toy soldier
[Verse 2]
C Cadd9 I followed our path, you became my home
Em Now artillery fire casts your shadow
Am Through the fragments that we lost
F F6I traded love for fame, despite the cost
C Cadd9 Oh, when did our love turn to sacrifice
Em I try but these broken wings won’t fly
Am Without someone to make it right
FI’ll leave the city just to make it back tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
F6 CCause I can’t conquer this without you, these bullets still won't get through
EmBut I’m still crashing down cause there’s more walls I need to break through
Am FI Do this to myself every time cause that’s the only way that I survivе
[Chorus]
C Em So cover up my flaws
AmAnd run when you hear my call in thе night
FCause lately I’ve been caught in the middle and I’m just getting older
C Em Will you be there to stop my fall
AmI know you’ve seen it all in my eyes
F N.C.
So break down the lies cause I know that I could never be the toy soldier
