Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I am a soldier, trained and conditioned

Served my time, but I didn't choose this mission

Fighting a war, I think I'm the only

Solider for the lonely

I have been wounded, under fire

But it's not deterred, or weakened my desire

To defend them. ‘cause I'm the only

Solider for the lonely

Chorus

For every heart that's been broken

For every kind word left unspoken

Every promise not remembered

I'll not forget, I'll not surrender

'Cause I'm the only

Soldier for the lonely

Here in the trenches, no sanctuary

Nights are long, and solitary

Nobody holds me, 'cause I'm the only

Soldier for the lonely

Chorus

I'll plant a rose, I'll shed a tear

I'll die alone, no one to hear

My battle cry,'cause I'm the only

Soldier for the lonely

I'm the only

Soldier for the lonely
