Soldier Acoustic chords by The Goo Goo Dolls

Capo 3 (all chords relative to capo position)



Intro: Em C A2 x2


Verse:

     Em                C                A2
When you came back I knew you'd have a story
     Em      C                A2
You need someone to ease the pain of living life
Em              C             A2
You're like a soldier in the fray seeking shelter
Em             C            A2
From all the madness that you've seen, raining down now

Chorus:

C   D           G
I know things change, your world has slipped away
C   D           G
I know things change, you're living like a
C        D              G
Soldier caught in the fray
       Bm        C
Don't lose your faith
             D                   Em
It's not so cold, it's not too late


Em C A2  x2


Verse:

     Em                       C          A2
When you were naive you were so invincible
                   Em                        C               A2
And you laughed at anyone and anything that ever got in your way
Em           C                 A2
But now the mirror shows the change, and you don't see that
Em              C              A2
You're sinking back into the crowd, an echo faded


Chorus


Bridge:

F#m                       D
And I never thought I'd see
                     Bm
You living on your knees
                   Abdim
A slave to some disease

That holds you captive
F#m                         D
And you can look inside of me
                          Bm
But the answers that you seek
                    Abdim
And everything you need

Is all inside you



Interlude: Em  D  A2  x4



Chorus
