Em With a knock, knock and my eyes come open. Em7 I light a match and orange fills the room. D The candle-light dancing off the walls. D and the movement's enough to wake her up. Em The men are outside with their torches. Em7 I hear the hooves of the horses I must lead. D Would you fill up this flask with your moonshine D I'll need it to keep myself warm through this snowy storm. Em And hide your tears till my sights are out the door. Em7 It's hard enough to leave for a war I don't believe. D Would you fill up this gun with melted soldiers, D it's the hand-made bullets that saved for the ring you wear. Em And I'll be wearing mine through the war cries. Em7 I won't let them tear it from my hands. D The waiting is over. The waiting is over, D and I tell her as I go that C "I'm coming back." Em7 But I may not be coming back. G Promise me you won't forget this, D but promise me you shall not dwell. C I'm coming back. Em7 But I may not be coming back. G Take the letters off the dresser D Em7 and fill the void with hearts and spades. Em7 Oh, the outside air is cold. D D Em7 You can see your breath for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles. Em7 D D Oh, heading north to war... To war. Em7 Dreams take me back to the home I grew up in. Em7 D Take me back to that little house on the hill. D It was there we felt alive we didn't care about the territory or the long story. Em7 Take me back, take me back to the day we met. Em7 D Playing cards with the girl right down the road. D Joking that the jack saw too much. D You be hearts and I'll be spades. C "I'm coming back." Em7 But I may not be coming back. G Promise me you won't forget this, D but promise me you shall not dwell. C I'm coming back. Em7 But I may not be coming back. G Take the letters off the dresser D and fill the void with hearts and spades. Em B C B Em Dear love, B C B I write you with a heavy heart. Em D And with this pen I lie to you, lie to you. B C And with this pen I lie to you, lie to you G And with this pen I lie to you, lie to you. A These letters are a lie. Em Em7 D C D Em Past the snow, past the fields, past the hills, D we finally see the enemy we so greatly feared. C And in the image of 900 men lining the horizon, D this is where my letters end. Em Ride with me, ride with me! D Don't mistake their war cries for lullabies. Em Ride with me, die with me! D Their fortune means our fate. Em Hold the line, hold the line! D This will be the ground with which their bodies lie. Em Hold the line, force the fight! D We'll never be the same. (Im not sure what they play during this bridge/solo section, so I just play the following chords) Em Em7 D C D C "I'm coming back." Em7 But I may not be coming back. G Promise me you won't forget this, D but promise me you shall not dwell. C I'm coming back. Em7 But I may not be coming back. G Take the letters off the dresser D and fill the void with hearts and spades. End on Em or Em7
