Verse:

[Am]Throw down the [C]sword, the [G]fight is done and [D]over

[F]We neither [C]lost and neither [Gsus4]won[G]

[Am]To cast a[C]way the [G]fury of the [D]battle

[F]And turn my [C]weary eyes for [D]home

[F]There were [G7]times when I [C]stood at death's own door[C/B]

[Am]Only [G]hoping for an [Fmaj7]answer.

[Am] [/] [/] [/] [C] [/] [/] [/] [G] [/] [/] [/] [D] [/] [/] [/]
[F] [/] [/] [/] [C] [/] [/] [/] [Gsus4] [/] [/] [/] [G] [/] [/] [/]

Throw down the sword and leave the glory
A story time can never change
To walk the road, the load I have to carry
A journey's end, a wounded soul
There were times when I stood at death's own door
Only searching for an answer.
