I'm sick of war, I'm sick of peace

BRIDGE:


          E(hold)          E
once as a boy, I saw what happened
            A                    E
I saw them beat him down to the cold, cold ground
                 E                  E
I watched those big boys beat that man down
 	   A                 E
I was too weak, too weak to take a stand


CHORUS:
             G               D                 A
when I'm so weak that this weakness feels like dying
                           E                   E
I hope you'll be by me then
            G               D                   A
when I'm so weak that this weakness feels like dying
                           E                   E
I hope you'll be by me then
            G             D                   A
and if I'm old 'til this oldness feels has me dying
                           E                   E
I hope you'll be by me then


          E(hold)        E(hold)
so I will live as I see fit
                   A(hold)                 E(hold)
and there will be those who will not like it
                  E(hold)           E(hold)
in the arms of a woman, I found my way home
                      A(hold)     E(hold)
so to the arms of a woman, I will always go


        G(hold)       D(hold)        A(hold)
if I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying
                           E(hold)       E(hold)
I hope she'll be by me then
        G(hold)       D(hold)        A(hold)
if I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying
