Ain’t no bo dy gon na (C#m7)steal this heart a way.
When the war is o ver, got to get a way,
Pack my bags to no place, in no time, no day.
You and I, we used each oth er’s shoul der,
still so young, but some how so much old er.
How can (E)I go home and not get (E)blown a way?
You and I had our (C#m)sights set on some thing,
hope this does n’t mean our (A)days are num bered.
I got plans for more than a want ed man.
All a round this cha os and mad ness,
can’t help feel ing noth ing (A)more than sad ness,
on ly choice to face it the best I can.
When the war is o ver, got to start a gain,
try to hold a trace of what it was back (D)then.
You and I, we sent each oth er sto ries,
just a page, I’m lost in all its glor ies.
