Am
Just a man in my prime
F
Love was there
E
But I had no time
A
I was cheered and adored
F
And I thought fame
E
Was all the world
Battles won and victory cheers
Were the sounds
I'd heard for years
But the women I really loved
Was losing me
To all this blood
I only knew I had to win
And build a world
Where I was king
But leaders come and leaders go
And that's the truth
I came to know
Love or war I couldn't choose
And so both
I had to lose
