D                   A 
And I thought to close my mouth 
       D              A 
With a padlock on the night 
          D             A 
Leave the battlefield behind 
     E       F#m   A    E       F#m 
Stay out the fight- not lose my sight. 
 
      D            A 
Now I only want to be 
        D            A 
With no pistol at my brain 
       D                A 
But at times it gets so lonely 
      E    F#m  A      E       F#m 
Could go insane- could lose my aim. 
 
      D            A 
Now I only want to live 
        D               A 
With no teardrops in my eyes 
       D                   A 
But at times it feels like no chance 
   E          F#m  A      E      F#m  
No clear blue skies- grey cloudy lies. 
   E          F#m  A      E      F#m 
No clear blue skies- grey cloudy lies.
