Intro: D


             D                               A
I am a soldier, trained and conditioned
                 G                                          D
Served my time, but I didn't choose this mission
                A                          G
Fighting a war, I think I'm the only
                      D
Solider for the lonely

                   D                      A
I have been wounded, under fire
                    G                                   D
But it's not deterred, or weakened my desire
          A                                  G
To defend them. ‘cause I'm the only
                      D
Solider for the lonely



Chorus:
                G                       A
For every heart that's been broken
                G                     A
For every kind word left unspoken
         G                      A
Every promise not remembered
           G                       D
I'll not forget, I'll not surrender
                      A                  
'Cause I'm the only
G                    D
Soldier for the lonely


                  D                          A
Here in the trenches, no sanctuary
                G                 D
Nights are long, and solitary
             A                                  G
Nobody holds me, 'cause I'm the only
                      D
Soldier for the lonely

Chorus

                  D                          A
I'll plant a rose, I'll shed a tear
                G                 D
I'll die alone, no one to hear
             A                                  G
My battle cry,'cause I'm the only
                      D        A
Soldier for the lonely
            G
I'm the only
                      D          A   D   A  D…
Soldier for the lonely
