Verse:

A minorAm       C majorC     G+G         D MajorD
Throw down the sword, the fight is done and over

FF     C majorC        Gsus4Gsus4  G+G
We neither lost and neither won

A minorAm    C majorC    G+G      D MajorD
To cast away the fury of the battle

FF      C majorC       D MajorD
And turn my weary eyes for home

FF     G7G7      C majorC             C/BC/B
There were times when I stood at death's own door

A minorAm  G+G       Fmaj7Fmaj7
Only hoping for an answer.


A minorAm / / / C majorC / / / G+G / / / D MajorD / / /

FF / / / C majorC / / / Gsus4Gsus4 / / / G+G / / /


Throw down the sword and leave the glory
A augmentedA story time can never change
To walk the road, the load I have to carry
A augmentedA journey's end, a wounded soul
There were times when I stood at death's own door
Only searching for an answer.
