Standard (EADGBE)
I pull my boots off,
Throw my weapon on the floor
I cry my eyes out
In my private little war
Well it seems I've been a soldier
(464444)
Heaven knows I've been no saint
With my camouflage and armor
(242222)
Cold heart and grease paint
To you this has no meaning
(464444)
The armistice laid down
The armies all are quiet
(242222)
And the guns don't make a sound, 'cause you..
Chorus
You melted the steel walls, tore down the bobwire
filled in the trenches, demanded a ceasefire
And now you're leavin', there's nothin' I can do
I want you to know, you're gonna take me with you
2nd Verse
Well now feel the match on suicide in the foxhole of my mind
and way off in the distance, the air raid sirens whine
and they sing your song of rescue, to my tattered worn out shell
you drag me to your safety, from this my front line hill
Chorus
(bridge)
The blood that was spilled in the heartache before
Left on massive scars, that I never, never could ignore to you
Chorus
