[Intro] Dm/F F 4x [Verse 1]

Dm/F      F           Dm/F      F
I met him down by the bay,

        Dm/F      F
he said life is a stranger

     Dm/F      F
that wont go away.

Dm/F         F        Dm/F      F
 And he took me by surprise,

        Dm/F      F
and I felt for the first time,

         Dm/F         F
what its like to be alive

[Chorus]

C
I’m a soldier,

      D7m
but I don’t know how to fight.

C/E
I’m your best friend

        D7m
but I’m scared to see you tonight.

C
I’m the darkness,

      D7m
but I want to be the light,

         C/E
oh how I want to be,

        D7m
oh how I want to be.

I met him down by the sea,

Dm/F        F         Dm/F       F
  He said I look like someone he knew.

       Dm/F         F
I said I don’t know anyone,

   Dm/F        F             Dm/F     F   Dm/F F
so how could I possibly know you.

Dm/F      F     Dm/F   F
He touched my hand,

Dm/F     F         Dm/F
finally I understand

        F      Dm/F    F      Dm/F    F
what it means to be here with you.
