[Verse 1]
DThere's an answer for I'm Gcalled again
DBack in the sand just like those Gsoldier-men
DAnd even once, I fell Emdown in the narrow lanes
BmOn the ground I laid, Gand I would say
[Verse 2]
DInfernal heat can't take the Gsound in here
DShake the trees, see what falls Gout of there
DIn a city where Emnobody hears
BmA bird call find, find Gwinter's here again
[Verse 3]
DCalls and sings, Berlin, BerGlin
DAmong the camp, we're done with Ghim
DWe'd shoot him down, but then, but Emthen
BmWhere should I begin, beDgin?
[Verse 4] (x2)
DHe's the only one who Gknows the words
DAnd he's the only one who Gknows the words
DAnd he's the only one who Emknows the words
BmAnd he's the only one who Dknows the words
