F I met him down by the bay, He said life is a stranger That won't go away He took me by surprise And I felt for the first time What its like to be alive Chorus: C/E I’m a soldier, Dm but I don’t know how to fight. C/E I’m your best friend Dm but I’m scared to see you tonight. C/E I’m the darkness, Dm but I want to be the light, C/E oh how I want to be, Dm oh how I want to be.
