Man Who Saved the World
Am G D/F# Dm/F
Where were you when your first bullet made its mark?
Em7 Am
Did you fall to your knees and pray?
Am G D/F# Dm/F
Did you thank God that it was he and not you?
Em7 Am
Or wish it were the other way?

Am G D/F# Dm/F
How did it feel to save your friends?
Em7 Am
To know that they’ve got your back
Am G D/F# Dm/F
Did you think about what it was like at home?
Em7 Am
Or did the past just fade to black?

Am G F G Am
Mud and blood, moon and stars
F G Am
Just try to make it through the day
F G Am
Oh, the man who lived and saved the world
F G Am
Doesn’t deserve to die this way.

Did you leave that fight satisfied?
Was it all that you could bear?
Did the smoke rise to meet your gaze
Leaving its mark that you were there

Stars and plaques and slaps on the back
Toasts cheers and cries
The one who would’ve murdered the world
From you has met his demise

Chorus.
Longer break

The years rolled by on an on
Now it’s hard to walk or speak
This chair rolls around a memory
More and more, with time, get weak

Bring me light bring me strength
I want my youth that conquered sin
If heaven should wait for its heroes
I pray to God to let them in, let them in

Chorus/Longer Break
