Capo 3
 
 
[INTRO]
 
Em   D     G    C   G    D
La la la la la la, la la la la la
Em   D     G    C  D
La ra la ra ra ra, la ra la ra ra 
 
 
[VERSE 1]
 
G                 D
Where did all the people go?
Em                       C
They got scared when the lights went low.
G                    D
I get you through it nice and slow,
         EM                         C
When the world's spinning out of control.
 
G              D
Afraid of what they might lose
Em                          C
Might get scraped or they might get bruised.
G                    D
You could beg and what's the use
Em                                   C
That's why it's called the moment of truth
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
G
I'd get it if you need it,
D           B7
I'll search if you don't see it,
Em
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
C                     D
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.
 
G
I know you don't believe it,
D              B7
But I said it and I still mean it,
Em
When you heard what I told you,
C                       D
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.
 
 
[VERSE 2]
 
G           D
Funny when times get hard,
Em                             C
At the last moment when you're supposed to charge,
G                   D
We're always on the longest yard,
 
Em                             C
Oh they feel their feet get cold.
 
G            D
Hiding here, hiding there,
Em             C
Find them underneath the stairs,
G             D
People hiding everywhere,
Em                        C
Trying to be still like a stone.
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
G
I'd get it if you need it,
D           B7
I'll search if you don't see it,
Em
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
C                     D
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.
 
G
I know you don't believe it,
D               B7
But I said it and I still mean it,
Em
When you heard what I told you,
C                       D
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.
 
 
[BRIDGE]
 
Em        D  G
My aim is so true,
C       G    D
I wanna show you,
Em          D    G
I'll try fore-e-ever,
C               D
I'm never gonna say "surrender".
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
G
I'd get it if you need it,
D           B7
I'll search if you don't see it,
Em
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
C                     D
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.
 
G
I know you don't believe it,
D             B7
But I said it and I still mean it,
Em
When you heard what I told you,
C                       D
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.
 
 
[OUTRO]
 
G - D – Em - C
Na na na na na na na na (x8)
 
(I'll be your soldier
I'll be, oh I'll be your soldier
I'll be your soldier)
 
Em   D     G    C   G    D
La ra la ra ra ra, la ra la ra ra 
Em   D     G    C   D
La ra la ra ra ra, la ra la ra ra
