Intro/Chorus:

A                     C#m               D     E 
   Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away 
A                     C#m               D     E 
   Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away 

Verse 1 
   A                 Amaj7            D            
     When the war is over got to get away 
E  A                 Amaj7                 D 
     Pack my bag to no place in no time no day 
E  A                                  
     You and I we used each other's shoulder 
   Bm 
     Still so young but somehow so much older 
   D         E    D                E      A 
     How can I go home and not get blown away

Bridge 
F#m                  C#m 
   You and I had our sights set on something 
D                             A 
   Hope this doesn't mean our days are numbered 
C#m                   D                  E 
   I've got plans for more than a wanted man 
F#m                C#m 
   All around this chaos and madness 
D                             A 
   Can't help feeling nothing more than sadness 
C#m               D                  E 
   Only choice to face it the best I can 

Verse 2 
   A                                     D 
     When the war is over got to start again 
E  A                                          D 
     Try to hold a trace of what it was back then 
E  A                                      
     You and I, we sent each other stories 
   Bm 
     Just a page I'm lost in all it's glory 
   D         E    D                E       A 
     How can I go home and not get blown away 

A                     C#m               D     E
