verse 1 
N.C. F                C 
I    stand before you now 
  F               C 
A soldier of this war

I lay my weapons down

To fight no more

N.C. F              C 
I'm  tired of being weak 
    F           C 
And trying to ignore 
     F      G     C 
That it was never me

I am still who I am

The one you called your own

But now your tender ways 
     G         C 
Have turned to stone 

 
          F        G     C 
Oh, there seems to be no answer 
F      G      C 
All is lost of love

When being who you are
