[Intro] | G | G | G | G | | G | G | [Verse 1]
         G
With the twilight colors fallin' and the evenin' layin' shadows

                                       D
Hidden memories, come stealin' from my mind

D
And I feel my own heart beatin' out, the simple joy of livin'

                                 G
And I wonder how I ever was that kind
[Verse 2]
G
But the wild road I was ramblin' was always out there callin'

                                          D
And you said a hundred times, I should've died

D
Then you reached down and touched me and lifted me up with you

                                          G
So I believe it was a road I was meant to ride
[Chorus 1]
           C               D            G
I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war

           C                 D        G
I'm like a young man gettin' over his crazy days

       C              D                Em
Like a bandit gettin' over his lawless ways

C               D                G
I don't have to do that any more

           C               D            G
I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war
[Break] | G | G | G | G | [Verse 3]
          G
There are nights I don't remember and pain that's been forgotten

                                      D
And a lot of things I choose not to recall

D
There are faces that come to me, in my darkest secret memories

                                         G
Faces that I wish would not come back at all
[Verse 4]
G
But in my dream(s parade of lovers, from the other times and places

                                            D
There's not one that matters now, no matter who

D
I'm just thankful for the journey and that I've survived the battles

                                 G
And that my spoils of victory is you
[Chorus 2]
           C               D            G
I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war

       C                 D        G
Like a young man getting over his crazy days

       C              D                Em
Like a bandit gettin' over his lawless ways

C              D                  G
Every day gets better than before

           C               D            G
I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war
