[Verse 1]
Am
Well, there ain't nobody safer than someone who doesn't care

       Em                      Am
And it isn't even lonely when no one's ever there

  Am                            Dm
I had a lot of dreams once, but some of them came true

    Em                            Am
The honey's sometimes bitter when fortune falls on you
[Chorus]
       Dm               Em             Am
So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night

         Dm             Em              Am
And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright

                Dm               Em              Am
But here you're trembling like a sparrow, I will try with all my might

   Dm          Em                F
To give you        just a little sweetness

                   Am
Just a little light
[Verse 2]
Am
I have always heard that virtue ought to be its own reward

       Em                      Am
But it never comes so easy when you're living by the sword

  Am                            Dm
It's even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way

    Em                            Am
You're as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away

       Dm               Em             Am
Even though I been a stranger, full of irony and spite

         Dm             Em              Am
Holding little but contempt for all things beautiful and bright

                Dm               Em              Am
Something shines around you and it seems, to my delight

   Dm          Em                F
To give you        just a little sweetness

                   Am
Just a little light
[Bridge]
              C                     G
This could be just another highway, coiled up in the night

             Dm                             Am
You could be just another white-tail, baby, stranded on my brights

          G
There's a tingling recognition

         D
Like the sound of distant thunder

    C
And I begin to wonder

       Am               E
If the love I've driven under

      F
Won't ignite
[Chorus]
       Dm               Em             Am
So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night

         Dm             Em              Am
And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright

                Dm               Em              Am
But here you're trembling like a sparrow, I will try with all my might

   Dm          Em                F
To give you        just a little sweetness

                   Am
Just a little light
