[Intro] Am  Dm  E   Am 

  Am
How I survived the massacre
Dm
I'll never understand
G                                              Am
   I've fought the fight as strong and hard as any other man
Am
Yet I returned as hero
   Dm
While they returned as ghosts
G                                   Am
  A heavy burden on the hearts of those they love the most

Am                            Dm
Take me back to place where I used to be
   G              Am
Before I lived a lifetime
Am                               Dm
Show me all of the love that I used to see
      G                             Am
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
      E                             Am
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine

    Am
Now my reward is peace and quiet
Dm
Or both I'm never sure
G                                    Am
  Sound of silence scares me senseless even since the war
Am
I drink away my memories
Dm
Too vicious to be told
G                                  Am
  The hollow heart I carry now is no good for my soul

( Dm  Am )
