Verse:
  Dadd2
I loved the world when we were poor
   A augmentedA
When winter banged on summer's door
   Dadd2            A augmentedA
When pain was April rain upon my skin
  Dadd2
I sheltered as each friend was tamed
   A augmentedA
And shackled by the waiting game
   Dadd2             A augmentedA
Now life has left a stain upon my skin

Chorus:
A augmentedA       D6D6
Soldier boy, soldier on
   A augmentedA               D6D6
Your eyes are cold and the spark is gone
   D6D6
My blackest days were bandaged white
   A augmentedA
I've prayed upon my darkest night
   D6D6                A augmentedA
And bible dreams the lives of former whores

Verse:
  Dadd2
I slept beside this angry calm
   A augmentedA
Kept faith alive and far from harm
Dadd2               A augmentedA
Torn I've lived I'll die a boy stillborn

Chorus:
A augmentedA       D6D6
Soldier boy, soldier on
   A augmentedA               D6D6
Your eyes are cold and the spark is gone
     A augmentedA            D6D6
They've chosen you to bear the stain
       A augmentedA
For god has left this world bereft
        D6D6
And the scars remain
      A augmentedA
The scars remain
