Wounded deep in battle

soldier undaunted

C#m
theme as I caressed your cheek
F#m
C#m
Oh that ragged, jagged melody,

But that medal you wore on your chest

E
A
B
Like a little girl with a trophy so
E
G#m
soft to buy her way
your ear tuned to the roar
Of some metal- tempered engine on that alien,
distant shore
B
E
And now you left to find a better reason
than the one we were living for
And it's not that nursery mouth
I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched
out on the floor
'Cause I've broken all your windows
and I've rammed through all your doors
And who am I to tell you to lick my sore?
And you should see that too
Verse 6
C#m
G#m
I came for you, for you,
F#m
A
I came for you
B
A
I came for you, for you, I came for you
