Soldier by James TW
Soldier
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 2nd fret
Key: F#
The placement of the chords probably isn't good, but if you listen to the song and play along it will be easy!
I couldn't quite figure out the bridge, but I think it's the same as the verse and chorus.
[Intro]
E F#m C#m A
[Verse 1]
E F#m C#m
Hold your breath, don't look down, keep trying
A E F#m C#m
Darling, it's okay to be scared, it's frightening
A E F#m C#m
At times it just feels like the world is trying hard to knock us down
A E F#m C#m A
But there's a reason that we're still here when no one else is around
[Pre-Chorus]
B
How we've grown
A
Every single day I'm proud
B
I swear, I won't
A
Let anything stop us now
[Chorus]
E F#m
I'm not a soldier
C#m A
But I'll fight through our darkest of days
E F#m
Get on my shoulders
C#m A
And I'll carry you all of the way
E F#m
'Cause there's no life worth living in
C#m A
If you're not with me in it
E F#m
I'm not a soldier
C#m A
But you make me wanna be brave
E F#m C#m A
Yeah, you do
[Verse 2]
E F#m C#m A
Through the depths of despair, we've stumbled
E F#m C#m
And all that distance between us, we've crumbled
A E F#m C#m
We've ignored all of the rumours and jealous disapprovals
A E F#m C#m
And we've come out the other side with something beautiful
[Pre-Chorus]
A B
Oh, how we've grown
A
Every single day I'm proud
B
And now I know
A
There's nothing that can stop us now
[Chorus]
E F#m
I'm not a soldier
C#m A
But I'll fight through our darkest of days
E F#m
Get on my shoulders
C#m A
And I'll carry you all of the way
E F#m
'Cause there's no life worth living in
C#m A
If you're not with me in it
E F#m
I'm not a soldier
C#m A
But you make me wanna be brave
E F#m C#m A
Yeah, you do
[Bridge]
E F#m
Only we know where we're going
C#m A
Every day we're gonna keep on growing
E F#m
Learning from the tears and the mistakes
C#m A
We're not perfect but we've come such a long way
E F#m
As long as I got you by my side
C#m A
I know what I wanna do in this life
E F#m
One day when our kids fall in love
C#m A
We can tell them that the odds were against us
[Chorus]
E F#m
I'm not a soldier
C#m A
But I'll fight through our darkest of days
E F#m
Get on my shoulders
C#m A
And I'll carry you all of the way
E F#m
'Cause there's no life worth living in
C#m A
If you're not with me in it
E F#m
I'm not a soldier
C#m A
But you make me wanna be brave
E
Yeah, you do
[Outro]
F#m
Yeah, you do, yeah, you do
C#m A
But you make me wanna be brave
E
Yeah, you do
F#m C#m A
Oh yeah, you do
