BbYes. Yes, I know 
Yes, I know that when you hear this
You'll feel straEbnge, I know
BbStill out of sight
But I've got this mouth
That's full of dynamiEbte, tonight. Tonight.
CmLover, you're a soldier
You're a loGmng, long way from home
A loCmng way from your mother
And you do iGmt on your own
CmI don't belong to you
And you don't Gmbelong to me
CmI don't think we need to
Cos it's jusGmt so easyBb  
So I survive
So I just try to get through
And stay alive
You do the same
Do the same
I see you running
Through the rain
Lover, you're a soldier
You're a long, long way from home
A long way from your mother
And you do it on your own
I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
I don't think we need to
Cos it's just so easy
I got lucky
When you said sorry
And I couldn't stop now
If I knew how
And if it's true what they say
About love and hard work
Well, alright
Cos maybe people in love
Are all on the same side when they fight
And everyone's raging and railing
And screaming for war
But you haven't got anything
That I would fight you for
To fight you
Lover, you're a soldier
You're a long, long way from home
A long way from your mother
And you do it on your own
I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
But I don't think we need to
Cos it's just easy
Lover, you're a soldier
You're a long, long way from home
A long way from your mother
And you do it on your own
We can take our chances
Cos we knew it going in
There'd be lots of dancing
But we'd never, ever play to win

Chords in this song · guitar

Yes. Yes, I know

Yes, I know that when you hear this

You'll feel strange, I know

Still out of sight

But I've got this mouth

That's full of dynamite, tonight. Tonight.

Lover, you're a soldier

You're a long, long way from home

A long way from your mother

And you do it on your own

I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me

I don't think we need to

Gm Bb

Cos it's just so easy

So I survive

So I just try to get through

And stay alive

You do the same

Do the same

I see you running

Through the rain

Lover, you're a soldier

You're a long, long way from home

A long way from your mother

And you do it on your own

I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me

I don't think we need to

Cos it's just so easy

I got lucky

When you said sorry

And I couldn't stop now

If I knew how

And if it's true what they say

About love and hard work

Well, alright

Cos maybe people in love

Are all on the same side when they fight

And everyone's raging and railing

And screaming for war

But you haven't got anything

That I would fight you for

To fight you

Lover, you're a soldier

You're a long, long way from home

A long way from your mother

And you do it on your own

I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me

But I don't think we need to

Cos it's just easy

Lover, you're a soldier

You're a long, long way from home

A long way from your mother

And you do it on your own

We can take our chances

Cos we knew it going in

There'd be lots of dancing

But we'd never, ever play to win
