A# D# F Gm Through rolling hills and many miles of blood We slept in the rainfall and marched through the mud And you were not like anyone I'd known You spoke with impunity, had nothing to atone A# F Gm D# In quiet evenings you told me what you thought about A# D# F Gm Servants and kings and how everyone is bought A# F Gm D# And how no one's hands are bloodier than God's A# D# F A# And I won't be judged for doing as I ought It's hard to say just when I fell in love There was no epiphany, no light from above But you'd become my candle in the dark And all through that Hell you were the shield across my heart Chorus: When all was fire, and the world was out for blood And the boys, still too young to drink, were drownin' in the flood I'd hear you laugh and it was like coming up for air And I'd laugh with you, pretend I didn't care A# Now twenty years have passed since D#sus4 D# the last time I saw you A# D#sus4 D# When I kissed you on the mouth you walked away A# I knew that it'd be too much, D#sus4 D# I knew that it would scare you A# But I couldn't find the proper words for D#sus4D# what I had to say A# But I don't regret a thing | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsA# D# D#sus4 F Gm |
