CIn this light, I cEould be anyAmone
The Dmhero that you wBbanted all alGong
A gCiant's shadow lEooming up the Amwall
But Dmsmaller now tBbhan I ever Gwas
FOh my kindness is a Glie
EA wicked tongue and Amwicked eyes
FShe was shy and GI was just a Amboy
I Dmwonder where a Bbgirl like that would Ggo
The Chollow ring of Esilver on the fAmloor
DmBought your compBbany but not your Glove
Now hCere we are, my mEercenary frAmiends
DmWe can drink and Bbtalk and play preGtend
[Pre-Chorus]
FAll the words that hurt you
CWear them now like armor
FThey will nGever harm or Amburden you again
DmI won't fight like a Glion of the Erock
But Dmdamn it if I Amdon't give good Gtalk
