         E5        F#5
When the cavalry clears
        G#5          F#5
And the limbs of our peers
    G#5            F#5           E5
Lay around us like sticks in the mud
      E5           F#5
We'll say to ourselves,
             G#5            F#5
"Where's the heaven in this hell?
           G#5    F#5         E5
We're on a ladder without any rungs"
         A5                        E5
With the ash of our friends in our lungs

(Repeat intro riff, end on E4

       E5                F#5
That's enough about the war
          G#5  F#5
How's my dear Eleanor?
         G#5             F#5        E5
Have you heard back from William or Kate?
        E5            F#5
Are you getting your shakes
             G#5         F#5
From lack of sleep as of late?
       G#5           F#5      E5
And my breath always reeks of escape
        A5                       E5      E5
I'll be home soon, and hopefully safe

       A5           F#5          G#5
If you love me, you won't make a scene
       A5           F#5          G#5
When I get home, please just leave me be
       A5           F#5         G#5
If you love me, then don't make a scene
       A5           F#5            E5
When I get home, please just leave me be

       E5            F#5
Twenty years to the day
             G#5             F#5
The tavern's closed and some say
          G#5           F#5         E5
They only saved us from missing our lives
       E5         F#5
He was buried away to
     G#5           F#5
The ground and the blame
     G#5     F#5         E5
That Eleanor kept stored away
        A5                      E5
And his breath always reeked of escape
