Russian Roulette by Jack Savoretti
Russian Roulette
Tuning: Standard
Intro:
Am Dm E Am (play twice)
Verse 1:
Am
How I survived the massacre
Dm G
I'll never understand
Am
I fought as hard and strong as any other man
Am
Yet I return as hero
Dm G
And they return as ghosts
Am
A heavy burden on the hearts of those they love the most
Chorus:
Am Dm
Take me back to the place where I used to be
G Am
Before I lost a lifetime
Dm
Show me all of the love that I used to see
G Am
In the eyes of the lonely lover of mine
E Am
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
Verse 2: (Chords just as in Verse 1)
Now my reward is peace and quiet
Of both I'm never sure
The sound of silence scares me senseless
Ever since the war
I drink away my memories
Too vivid to be told
The hollow heart I carry now is no good for my soul
Chorus:
So take me back to the place where I used to be
Before I lived a lifetime
Show me all of the love that I used to see
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine, yes
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
Repeat Chorus and fade out by repeating it's last line

How I survived the massacre
I'll never understand
I've fought the fight as strong and hard as any other man
Yet I returned as hero
While they returned as ghosts
A heavy burden on the hearts of those they love the most
Take me back to the place where I used to be
Before I lived a lifetime
Show me all of the love that I used to see
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
Now my reward is peace and quiet
Of both I'm never sure
Sound of silence scares me senseless even since the war
I drink away my memories
Too vicious to be told
The hollow heart I carry now is no good for my soul
Take me back to the place where I used to be
Before I lived a lifetime
Show me all of the love that I used to see
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
Take me back to the place where I used to be
Before I lived a lifetime
Show me all of the love that I used to see
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
