Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

We became the parade on the streets that we once cleaned

Expendable soldiers smiling at anything

Raised on a feeling our lives would have meaning eventually

We were once the answer and then you discover

Youre actually just one thing after another

And what was the question and why was the lesson so deafening?

This is all that matters now

And that was all that happened anyhow

You can look back but dont stare

Maybe I can love you out of there

And when I went away what I forgot to say

Was all I had to say:

Eight letters, three words, one meaning

And outside forces didnt make it easy

So I thought Id go before you leave me

Self-preservation was no explanation for anything

But the truth is more than we ll ever comprehend

Im just starting to understand, my friend

All of that distance, cause I fell in love with the enemy

This is all that matters now

And that was all that happened anyhow

You can look back but dont stare

Maybe I can love you out of there

And when I went away what I forgot to say

Was all I had to say:

Eight letters, three words, one meaning

And when I went away what I forgot to say

Was all I had to say:

Eight letters, three words, one meaning

Interlude

At last, we meet on no mans land

Just footprints in the sand

We meet on no mans land, at last

And when I went away what I forgot to say

Was all I had to say:

Eight letters, three words, one meaning

And when I went away what I forgot to say

Was all I had to say:

Eight letters, three words, one meaning

One meaning

Just one meaning
