intro:  D   Bm   D  Bm  
DI learned to dance
From a girl who could dance
Far better than I could even BmbreatheD  
I learned to fight
From an old man who could fight
Chase the dogs from the night
With never having to swing
GAll that I wanted was Dall in my Gmind
And all that I Aneed is to Dsing
G D Bm
DI learned to crash
From a friend who could crash 
Stop the world in it's tracks beneath his Bmfeet  D  
And I learned to be kind by
Trying hard to find it when
Fear I think comes most Bmeasily
GAll that I wanted was Dall in my Gmind
And all that I Aneed is to Dsing
G D Bm
DI learned from a past
When the flags were all half mast
For the days when all our dreams were BmkingD  
I would learn to fade
Like the sinking sun then they
May help me and Dgive me days to Bmwaste
GAll that I wanted was Dall in my Gmind
And all that I Aneed is to Dsing
G D Bm D Bm
DI learned to die
From a good woman who died
With her head held high in the Bmwind
DWhen my time arrives
And the lights gonna leave my eyes
It's the love that I find
That's gonna ease the Bmsting
GAll that I wanted was Dall in my Gmind
AAnd all that I Fneed...
DOoooooh, ooooh, ooh ooh ooh Bmoooooooh x3
