Am C
I saw you shining like a lighter in a foxhole
G Am
and without delay I put you in my sights
C
for many years I watched you dancing in my crosshairs
G E Am
but I couldn't pull the trigger for my life
F (Fmaj7) C
but then one day I got the stones to take your hand, dear
G Am
and I won you with a flower and a smile
F (Fmaj7) C
though all I had to offer was a fireplace
G E Am
and a face you learned to love after awhile
Riff (2x)
Am C
one day I was called to serve my country
G Am
and I went because I'd never been away
C
I returned home with a bandage on my forehead
G E Am
and a memory that gets weaker every day
F (Fmaj7) C
and now you never touch me like you used to
G C
and my injuries don't even start to heal
F (Fmaj7) C
I was sure right then and there that I would lose you
G E Am
oh how wretched your beauty makes me feel
Riff (variation)
Am C
I used to think our love was but a trifle
G Am
I was surprised it lasted through the month of May
C
but now I am too old to lift my rifle
G E Am
and you're still here to watch me waste away
F (Fmaj7) C
my love I've lost so many friends since we got married
G Am
and I know that you could say the same to me
F (Fmaj7) C
I believe I was the first to ever catch you
G E Am
perhaps I should be the first to set you free
Interlude
Am C
I saw you shining like the sunlight through the window
G Am
and the truth it started slowly sinking in
C
and I knew when I walked the door this morning
G E Am
I would never see your pretty face again
F (Fmaj7) C
so don't go searching for my body in the cattails
G Am
just be happy that I've found a place to rest
F (Fmaj7) C
by the time you read this letter I'll be gone dear
G Am
you know I love you, but this is for the best
