Toy Soldier

C                        Cadd9  Em
 Follow the march of the battle drum
And bury the questions where they 
     Am
came from
Just pretend if I’m starting to 
               F   F6
regret it tomorrow
C
 Killing it all
Cadd9        Em                  
Push it back down every time but 
                Am
still I felt it rise
From the trenches the stolen happy 
          F
endings I chased


[Pre-Chorus]
              F6               C
Cause I can’t conquer this without 
you, these bullets still won't get 
through
                       Em
But I’m still crashing down cause 
there’s more walls I need to break 
through
               Am                  
I do this to myself every time 
                                F
cause that’s the only way that I 
survivе


[Chorus]
C               Em
 So cover up my flaws
                         Am
And run when you hear my call in thе
 night
                       F
Cause lately I’ve been caught in the
 middle and I’m just getting older
C                             Em
 Will you be there to stop my fall
                      Am
I know you’ve seen it all in my eyes
                               F    
                      N.C.
So break down the lies cause I know 
that I could never be the toy 
soldier

[Verse 2]
C                           Cadd9
 I followed our path, you became my 
home
Em
 Now artillery fire casts your 
shadow
Am
 Through the fragments that we lost
  F                                
I traded love for fame, despite the
     F6
 cost
C                              
 Oh, when did our love turn to 
Cadd9
sacrifice
Em
 I try but these broken wings won’t 
fly
Am
 Without someone to make it right
               F
I’ll leave the city just to make it 
back tonight


[Pre-Chorus]
              F6               C
Cause I can’t conquer this without 
you, these bullets still won't get 
through
                       Em
But I’m still crashing down cause 
there’s more walls I need to break 
through
               Am                  
I do this to myself every time 
                                F
cause that’s the only way that I 
survivе


[Chorus]
C               Em
 So cover up my flaws
                         Am

                       F

                      Am
I know you’ve seen it all in my eyes
                               F    
                      N.C.
So break down the lies cause I know

[Bridge]
Dm       C
Act your age
          G
Cause the world will not change for 
a child with a cape
     Dm      C
Your savior awaits
       G                           
In the fields where you once 
                 Dm
learned that you could fly
          C                        
Manhattan lights they spoke and 
  G                                
they told you that all these things
           Dm
 will come in time
             C                     
Ships in the night, they wrote and 
     G                             
they said that love shines auburn 
      Dm
in the night
              C                    
The Manhattan lights they spoke and
      G                            
 they told you that all these 
               Dm
things will come in time
              C                    
So don’t lose sight, you’ll change 
  G
a life


[Chorus]
C               Em
 So cover up my flaws
                         Am
And run when you hear my call in thе
 night
                       F
Cause lately I’ve been caught in the
 middle and I’m just getting older
C                             Em
 Will you be there to stop my fall
                      Am
I know you’ve seen it all in my eyes
                               F    
                      N.C.
So break down the lies cause I know
