   Bm
How I survived the massacre
      Em             A
I'll never understand
                               Bm
I fought as hard and strong as any other man
    Bm
Yet I return as hero
     Em                  A
And they return as ghosts
                                 Bm
A heavy burden on the hearts of those
they love the most

Chorus:
Bm                                Em
Take me back to the place where I used to be
   A            Bm
Before I lost a lifetime
                               Em
Show me all of the love that I used to see
        A                          Bm
In the eyes of the lonely lover of mine
        F#                           Bm
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 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:
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
