about

As often is the case for me, this song came from one line: "I tried to trust a stranger once upon a time / With nothing more than my life on the line". The rest of the song came from there on its own and wrote itself.

lyrics

F
I tried to trust a stranger once C
upon a time
F
With nothing more than my life on C
the line

That stranger said boy you should know better
Than to give me this letter
I told that stranger one day I will die
And there's no need to wonder why
So please keep this letter by your side
And deliver it to my bride
C
Tell her I was smiling as I closed G
my eyes
C F
Tell her I remember all the lies
C G
No I wasn't one of the good guys
F
She should save her good tears if G
she cries

They sent us to the front lines tonight
They sent us to the front lines to fight
There's a thousand of them for every one of us
Before the night is through I'll be one with the dust
