Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
A minorAm
Well, there ain't nobody safer than someone who doesn't care
    E minorEm           A minorAm
And it isn't even lonely when no one's ever there
 A minorAm              DmDm
I had a lot of dreams once, but some of them came true
  E minorEm              A minorAm
The honey's sometimes bitter when fortune falls on you


Chorus:
    DmDm        E minorEm       A minorAm
So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night
     DmDm       E minorEm       A minorAm
And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright
        DmDm        E minorEm       A minorAm
But here you're trembling like a sparrow, I will try with all my might
  DmDm     E minorEm        FF
To give you    just a little sweetness
          A minorAm
Just a little light

Verse 2:
A minorAm
I have always heard that virtue ought to be its own reward
    E minorEm           A minorAm
But it never comes so easy when you're living by the sword
 A minorAm              DmDm
It's even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way
  E minorEm              A minorAm
You're as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away
    DmDm        E minorEm       A minorAm
Even though I been a stranger, full of irony and spite
     DmDm       E minorEm       A minorAm
Holding little but contempt for all things beautiful and bright
        DmDm        E minorEm       A minorAm
Something shines around you and it seems, to my delight
  DmDm     E minorEm        FF
To give you    just a little sweetness
          A minorAm
Just a little light

Bridge:
       C majorC           G+G
This could be just another highway, coiled up in the night
       DmDm               A minorAm
You could be just another white-tail, baby, stranded on my brights
     G+G
There's a tingling recognition
     D MajorD
Like the sound of distant thunder
  C majorC
And I begin to wonder
    A minorAm        E MajorE
If the love I've driven under
   FF
Won't ignite


Chorus:
    DmDm        E minorEm       A minorAm
So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night
     DmDm       E minorEm       A minorAm
And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright
        DmDm        E minorEm       A minorAm
But here you're trembling like a sparrow, I will try with all my might
  DmDm     E minorEm        FF
To give you    just a little sweetness
          A minorAm
Just a little light
