Gm                Cm
This woman is growing weary
                C
Of having to be so strong
Fm                              Cm
Of having to pretend I'm made of stone
                             Gm
So I won't end up with no broken bones
  Fm                    Gm
I can't fight every battle alone
        Cm
I want someone to lift me

Heal my wounds and give me kisses on my head
Ab
Say words that should be said
Gm        Cm
Fear is not the matter
        C                       Fm
I would so much rather open up my heart

And lay down my guard


[Chorus]
          Gm
If I could trust someone
 Cm                              Gm
To have my back and never do me wrong
             F
Then I would give my love up
                                       Fm
Just like that, stop singing this soldier song
           Cm
If I could trust someone
                               Gm
To have my back and never do me wrong
                     Cm
I would - I would give my love up
Ab
Just like that, stop singing this soldier song


[Verse 2]
 Gm                       C
Whomever said love is overrated
     Cm               Fm
Must not be getting none
 F               Ab
My independent days have had their fun
Cm
But when the party’s over
                Bb
And the working day is done
 Eb            Ab
I just want to come home to someone
Cm                           Gm
I want a love to take me as I am
                  Fm
Not make me compromise myself
             F
Or be like no one else
Gm        Cm
Fear is not the matter
        Gm                     Fm
I would so much rather open up my heart
                       Cm
And just lay down my guard


[Chorus]
          Gm
If I could trust someone
 Cm                              Gm
To have my back and never do me wrong
             F
Then I would give my love up

Just like that, stop singing this soldier song
           Gm
If I could trust someone
                               Gm
