verse 1
 D            Gmaj7
Once i was a soldier
 D                      Gmaj7
And i fought on foreign sands for you
 D           Gmaj7
Once i was a hunter
 D                 Gmaj7
And i brought home fresh meat for you
 D           Gmaj7
Once i was a lover
 D                         Gmaj7
And i searched behind your eyes for you
 D                    Gmaj7
And soon there'll be another
D            Gmaj7
To tell you I was just a lie

Bm           G
Sometimes I wonder
            A
Just for a while
Bm                   A   Bm
Do you ever remember me

Interlude

verse 2
 D                    Gmaj7
And though you have forgotten
D           Gmaj7
All of our rubbish dreams
D              Gmaj7
I find myself searching
  D                      Gmaj7
Through the ashes of our ruins

Bridge
 D                    Gmaj7
For the days when we smiled
 D                     Gmaj7
And the hours that ran wild
 D                    Gmaj7
With the magic of our eyes
 D                     Gmaj7
And the silence of our words

N.C
And sometimes i wonder
N.C
Just for a while
N.C
Will you remember me
