| G | G |
[Verse 1]
G
With the twilight colors fallin' and the evenin' layin' shadows
D
Hidden memories, come stealin' from my mind
D
And I feel my own heart beatin' out, the simple joy of livin'
G
And I wonder how I ever was that kind
[Verse 2]
G
But the wild road I was ramblin' was always out there callin'
D
And you said a hundred times, I should've died
D
Then you reached down and touched me and lifted me up with you
G
So I believe it was a road I was meant to ride
[Chorus 1]
C D G
I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war
C D G
I'm like a young man gettin' over his crazy days
C D Em
Like a bandit gettin' over his lawless ways
C D G
I don't have to do that any more
C D G
I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war
[Break]

[Verse 3]
G
There are nights I don't remember and pain that's been forgotten
D
And a lot of things I choose not to recall
D
There are faces that come to me, in my darkest secret memories
G
Faces that I wish would not come back at all
[Verse 4]
G
But in my dream(s parade of lovers, from the other times and places
D
There's not one that matters now, no matter who
D
I'm just thankful for the journey and that I've survived the battles
G
And that my spoils of victory is you
[Chorus 2]
C D G
I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war
C D G
Like a young man getting over his crazy days
C D Em
Like a bandit gettin' over his lawless ways
C D G
Every day gets better than before
C D G
I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war

There were nights I don't remember
And there's pain that I've forgotten
Other things I choose not to recall
There are faces that come to me
In my darkest secret memory
Faces that I wish would not come back at all
But in my dreams parade of lovers
From the other times and places
There's not one that matters now, no matter who
I'm just thankful for the journey
And that I've survived the battles
And that my spoils of victory are you
With the twilight colors fallin'
And the evening layin' shadows
Hidden memories come stealin' from my mind
And I feel my own heart beatin' out
The simple joy of livin'
And I wonder how I ever was that kind
But the wild road I was ramblin'
Was always out there callin'
And you said a hundred times I should have died
Then you reached down and touch me
And lifted me up with you
So I believe it was road I was meant to ride
I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war
I'm like a young man gettin' over his crazy days
Like a bandit gettin' over his lawless ways
I don't have to do that anymore
I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war
There are nights I don't remember
And pain it's been forgotten
And a lot of things I choose not to recall
There are faces that come to me
In my darkest secret memories
Faces that I wish, would not come back at all
But in my dreams parade of lovers
From the other times and places
There's not one that matters now, no matter who
I'm just thankful for the journey
And that I've survived the battles
And that my spoil of victory is you
I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war
I'm like a young man gettin' over his crazy days
Like a bandit gettin' over his lawless ways
Everyday gets better than a day before
I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war
