A           D
I was born when I met you
        C#mi     F#mi
now I'm dying to forget you
     Hmi     E      A E
and that is what I know
         A                D
Though I dreamed I would fall
       C#mi          F#mi
like a wounded cannonball
         Hmi         E       A6 A7
sinking down with my heart in tow

F#mi               C#mi
Bright lights like white lightning
D           A
Who shot me down
D          A
Who cut me down
     F#mi   C#mi              D          A
I'm frozen in my bed till the day comes around
         D            E
How I'm lost, how I'm found

There's a man all alone
telling me his friends are gone
that they've died and flown away
So I told him he was wrong
that your friends are never gone
If you look to the sky and pray

Someone told me a lie
Someone looked me in the eye
and said time will ease your pain
But behold, when you fall
its that same old cannonball
coming back for your heart again

Bright lights like white lightning
Who shot me down
Who cut me down
I'm frozen in my bed till the day comes around
F#mi             C#mi
And it may come around
         D          A
Till the day comes around
        Hmi           E
How I'm lost, how I'm found

I was born when I met you
Now I'm dying to forget you
    D       E      A
and that is what I know
