If you could coddle the infection

[Interlude]
  Em
And if you would call me your sweetheart,
                           B
I'd maybe then sing you a song
         A               B              G
But the shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun,
Em                     Bb5         B
You would cry out your eyes all along.
Em
We're damned after all.
                         B
Through fortune and flame we fall.
A              B                  G          Em
And if you can stay then I'll show you the way,
    B               Bb5        B
To return from the ashes you call.
Em
We all carry on
A                              B
When our brothers in arms are gone
  A                  B
So raise your glass high
        G        Em
For tomorrow we die,
Em                 B            Em
And return from the ashes you call!
