[Intro]
A    E/A    Em/A    D/A  x2
 
 
[Verse]
A         E/A        Em/A       D/A
I used to think of myself as a soldier
A         E/A         Em/A         D/A
Holding his own against impossible odds
A        E/A          Em/A         D/A
Badly outnumbered and caught in a crossfire of
A          E/A        Em/A    D/A    A
Devils and gods
E          D         A            Em    A   D    A
All I ever wanted to be was free
 
E
 
 
[Chorus]
E          D              A               F#m7       E
All I ever looked for was what was within my eyes to see
E       D          Dm                     A       E/A  Em/A
Oh, but these days are just like you and me
D/A A         D    Dm                    A
Oh, but these days are just like you and me
 
E/A    Em/A    D/A    A    E/A    Em/A    D/A
 
 
[Verse]
A           E/A          Em/A       D/A
You used to be something I could believe in
A             E/A        Em/A       D/A
How could you let me forsake myself so
A            E/A          Em/A      D/A
You used to think of your life as a riddle with
A          E/A    Em/A  D/A  A
No answers known
E            D         A           Em   A     D    A
All you ever wanted to be was free
 
E
 
 
[Chorus]
E            D              A               F#m7           E
All you ever looked for was what was within your sights to see
E       D           Dm                   A
Oh, but these days are just like you and me
D/A  A        D    Dm                    A
Oh, but these days are just like you and me
 
E/A    Em/A    D/A    A    E/A    Em/A    D/A
 
 
[Verse]
A          E/A             Em/A     D/A
We used to live like there was no tomorrow
A           E/A      Em/A      D/A
Tasting our trials a day at a time
A           E/A        Em/A        D/A
Crying for justice and laughing at sorrow
     A        E/A        Em/A     D/A
Such innocent crimes
E            D         A         E   A    D    A
All you ever wanted to be was free
 
E
 
 
[Chorus]
E            D              A               F#m7          E
All you ever looked for was what was within our sights to see
E       D          Dm                    A
Oh, but these days are just like you and me
D/A  A        D    Dm                    A
Oh, but these days are just like you and me
 
E/A    Em/A    D/A    A    E/A    Em/A    D/A
