[Verse 1]
   Am
How I survived the massacre
      Dm                         G
I'll never understand
                               Am
I fought the fight as hard and strong as any other man
     Am
Yet I return as hero
     Dm                      G
While they return as ghosts
                                 Am
A heavy burden on the hearts of those they love the most
 
[Chorus]
Am                                Dm
Take me back to the place where I used to be
     G               Am
Before I lived a lifetime
                               Dm
Show me all of the love that I used to see
       G                          Am
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
         E                                       Am
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
 
[Verse 2]
    Am
Now my reward is peace and quiet
     Dm                     G
Of both I'm never sure
                             Am
The sound of silence scares me senseless
Am
Ever since the war
    Dm                   G
I drink away my memories
 
Too vicious to be told
Am
The hollow heart I carry now is no good for my soul
 
[Chorus]
Am                                Dm
So take me back to the place where I used to be
     G               Am
Before I lived a lifetime
                               Dm
Show me all of the love that I used to see
       G                          Am
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
         E                                       Am
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
Am                                Dm
Take me back to the place where I used to be
     G               Am
Before I lived a lifetime
                               Dm
Show me all of the love that I used to see
       G                          Am
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
         E                                       Am
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
 
[Outro]
       G                          Am
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
         E
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
 
Am   Dm   E   Am  x2

Ich liebe diesen Song so sehr! Er lässt sich so sanft spielen

Thanks that’s sooo good !😎🤩 I’ve just made a personal copy and added a few words as I thought Some were missing . I (fought *}as hard and strong in verse 1 And mmmh mmh mmh after v1 Well done again!!

It's [capo] on 2nd - apart from that: great! Add this correction and I'll reward 5 stars :-) As a bonus, you could add this interlude after the first chorus: Am Dm G Am Interlude after second chorus is Am Dm Am Dm Outro is Am Dm E Am Am Dm E Am I have no clue about the tabs, but the picking pattern is something in terms of this: Am E/G Dm E|---x-x---x-x-|---x-x---x-x-|---x-x---x-x-| B|-------------|-------------|---x-x---x-x-| G|---x-x---x-x-|---x-x---x-x-|-------x-----| D|-------x-----|-------------|-x-----------| A|-x-----------|-------x-----|-------------| E|-------------|-x-----------|-------------| I'm not sure about the Dm. You could play (D - [G+E]) (D - [G+E]) instead of (D [B+E]) (G [B+E]), but I mentioned the more "complex" version for the sake of similarity. I like the easier D-[G+E] version (I hope you understand ;-)
