G Gadd9 Gm Follow the march of the battle drum
GmAnd bury the questions where they came from
F F6Just pretend if I’m starting to regret it tomorrow
G Killing it all
Gadd9 Gm GmPush it back down every time but still I felt it rise
FFrom the trenches the stolen happy endings I chased
[Pre-Chorus]
F6 GCause I can’t conquer this without you, these bullets still won't get through
GmBut I’m still crashing down cause there’s more walls I need to break through
Gm FI Do this to myself every time cause that’s the only way that I survivе
[Chorus]
G Gm So cover up my flaws
GmAnd run when you hear my call in thе night
FCause lately I’ve been caught in the middle and I’m just getting older
G Gm Will you be there to stop my fall
GmI 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]
G Gadd9 I followed our path, you became my home
Gm Now artillery fire casts your shadow
Gm Through the fragments that we lost
F F6I traded love for fame, despite the cost
G Gadd9 Oh, when did our love turn to sacrifice
Gm I try but these broken wings won’t fly
Gm Without someone to make it right
FI’ll leave the city just to make it back tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
F6 GCause I can’t conquer this without you, these bullets still won't get through
GmBut I’m still crashing down cause there’s more walls I need to break through
Gm FI Do this to myself every time cause that’s the only way that I survivе
[Chorus]
G Gm So cover up my flaws
GmAnd run when you hear my call in thе night
FCause lately I’ve been caught in the middle and I’m just getting older
G Gm Will you be there to stop my fall
GmI 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
[Bridge]
Cm GAct your age
CCause the world will not change for a child with a cape
Cm GYour savior awaits
C CmIn the fields where you once learned that you could fly
G C CmManhattan lights they spoke and they told you that all these things will come in time
G C CmShips in the night, they wrote and they said that love shines auburn in the night
G CThe Manhattan lights they spoke and they told you that all these things will come in
Cmtime
G CSo don’t lose sight, you’ll change a life
[Chorus]
G Gm So cover up my flaws
GmAnd run when you hear my call in thе night
FCause lately I’ve been caught in the middle and I’m just getting older
G Gm Will you be there to stop my fall
GmI 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
