        Bm  A  Bm  A 

Bm 
I can't go home 
A 
I cannot sleep 
Bm 
I cannot give 
A 
I cannot keep 

G 
This heart of stone has left me here 
          F#m 
With only rumors of your left 
G                                  F#m     Bb 
I guess to see you leaving was for the best 

Bm 
I dream too much 
A 
and spend my days 
Bm                    A 
Like a sailor lost at sea 
G 
And you were like a mermaid 
        F#m 
in that Danish fairytale 
G 
I guess the best thing that I could do 
      F#m  Bb 
is to sail 

Bm             G 
Away from this sunken soldiers ball 
Bm             G 
Away, do you remember me at all? 
F#m                         G  
I have no better words than "Thank you and goodbye" 
F#m                             G    A  Bm 
I wish I didn't have to see our love die 

( Bm  A  Bm  A ) 
( G  F#m  G  F#m  Bb ) 

Bm 
At last I'm home 
A 
My horse will rest 
Bm 
This tattoed heart 
A                         G 
This trembling chest must be alone 
               F#m 
And carry this sorrow back to bed 
G                                 F#m   Bb 
I hope there was no innocent blood shed 

Bm             G 
Away from this sunken soldiers ball 
Bm             G 
Away, do you remember me at all? 
F#m                         G  
I have no better words than "Thank you and goodbye" 
F#m                             G    A  Bm 
I wish I didn't have to see our love die
