[Intro]
Dm/F F 4x
 
[Verse 1]
Dm/F      F           Dm/F      F
I met him down by the bay,
        Dm/F      F
he said life is a stranger
     Dm/F      F
that wont go away.
 
Dm/F         F        Dm/F      F
 And he took me by surprise,
        Dm/F      F
and I felt for the first time,
         Dm/F         F
what its like to be alive
 
[Chorus]
C
I’m a soldier,
      D7m
but I don’t know how to fight.
C/E
I’m your best friend
        D7m
but I’m scared to see you tonight.
C
I’m the darkness,
      D7m
but I want to be the light,
         C/E
oh how I want to be,
        D7m
oh how I want to be.

I met him down by the sea,
Dm/F        F         Dm/F       F
  He said I look like someone he knew.
       Dm/F         F
I said I don’t know anyone,
   Dm/F        F             Dm/F     F   Dm/F F
so how could I possibly know you.
 
Dm/F      F     Dm/F   F
He touched my hand,
Dm/F     F         Dm/F
finally I understand
        F      Dm/F    F      Dm/F    F
what it means to be here with you.

oh how I want to be.
