G Em C D

[Verse]
  G
I tried to be the perfect soldier
                                       Em
I tried to be what everyone said was expected
              C       D
Somehow I was selected
         G
Well, my hands were steady, my aim was true

But deep inside of my heart I knew
       Em
That I lacked the will
                C            D
I just couldn't shoot to kill

[Bridge]
              C                G
And still she treats me like a human
    C                    G
She says she'll still be there
  C                              Em
I may not be a hero, but I'll be there
          D         G
Because I know she cares

[Verse]
D        G
I worked hard to be the greatest lover
                                   Em
I wanted to be sure that I was her only one
              C                 D
That's how I thought it was done
      G
But I went too far, assumed too much

The need to feel a younger one's touch
        Em
Seemed important then
           C            D
Oh what a fool I've been

[Bridge]
              C                G
And still she treats me like a human (like a human)
    C                    G
She says she'll still be there (that she'll be there)
  C                  G                      Em
I don't quite understand it, she's been too fair
           D       G
'cause somehow she cares

[Chorus]
        D          C      G         C           G
I guess that's the way it goes, the way that it goes
    C      G             D
And nobody knows what compels her
              C         G        C         Em
She's seen my highs and lows and never let go

Em C Em C x4 D

[Bridge]
           C                 G
Oh yes she treats me like a human (like a human)
    C                    G
She says she'll still be there (that she'll be there)
  C                 G                       Em
I don't quite understand it, she's been too fair
           D       G
'cause somehow she cares

[Chorus]
        D          C      G         C           G
I guess that's the way it goes, the way that it goes
    C      G             D
And nobody knows what compels her
              C         G        C         Em
She's seen my highs and lows and never let go

[Verse]
    D
And when the world has turned it's back on me

I won't have to feel alone
                  G     Em
'cause I know she cares
