Song for a soldier Sara Bareilles
Capo 2
C   Em   Am   F
Ooh...
F              C
Since you went away, 
Em                                                 Am
You can color me, colour me, colour me, colour me in grey
   F                               C
So I'm working on the words I want to say
Em                                        Am
I never knew, never knew, never knew your name
        F
(You're) just my soldier, babe
F                     C
You lost track of the days
Em                                               Am
They come and they go, and they come and they go there's no way
     F
that I could keep up with it
       C
And I pray
Em                                       Am
And I wonder, wonder, wonder if you hear me
    F
Ten thousand miles away
G                         Am      F
Hey soldier   I'm missing your life
C                                   Em
Wish I could hold ya and make it alright
               Am
Sending you my love and a little light
F                            G               C
 I never told ya that you're my soldier (but) goodnight
Em                                                    Am
You know it's gonna take, gonna take, gonna take more time
           F                      C
Till we're staring up at the same sky
       Em                                                 Am
And so I'm going to wait, going to wait, going to wait in line
     F
Till my soldier's mine
G                         Am      F
Hey soldier   I'm missing your life
C                                   Em
Wish I could hold ya and make it alright
               Am
Sending you my love and a little light
F                            G                Am
I never told ya that you're my soldier (but) goodnight
            Em
I don't care how long it takes
Am            G     C
I'm not going anywhere, love (no)
          Em                Am
You see there this distance only makes me 
F
Say it over and over till it gets to you
         C   G   Am  F
My soldier (ooh  ooh ooh ...)
G                         Am      F
Hey soldier   I'm missing your life
C                                   Em
Wish I could hold ya and make it alright
               Am
Sending you my love and a little light
F                                              Em
                               c               
I never told ya that you're my soldier (but) goodnight
               Am
Sending you my love and a little light
         F                 Am       F
I never told ya that you're my soldier
C
Goodnight (Goodnight) Goodnight (Goodnight)
Em                              Am
Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight
F
 Mmm...
