The formatting on this site kind of messed up the placing of the chords above the 
lyrics, but if you listen to the song, you can figure it out easily


Capo on the 3rd Fret

Its a basic up down strumming pattern with four chords, 2 beats per chord:

Intro: Em C G D [2X]

Em                 C                   G
I don't believe in anything but myself
   D                      Em                       C              G       D
I don't believe in anything but myself
Em                  C                     G                             D
But then you opened up a door, you opened up a door
        Em               C                                  G              D
Now I start to believe in something else

Em                     C               G                             D
   But how do I know if I'll make it through?
Em            C            G                                 D     
   How do I know? Where's the proof in you?

Em          C         G                   D   
   And so it goes, this soldier knows
Em          C                  G                 D                    
  The battle with the heart isn't easily won
Em          C         G                   D   
  And so it goes, this soldier knows
Em          C                  G                 D  
  The battle with the heart isn't easily won
Em      C            G           D
               But it can be won

I sit in the back of a bus watching the world grow old
Watching the world go by all by myself
I took a faith full leap and packed up all my things and
All my love and gave it to somebody else

But how do I know if I'll make it through?
How do I know? Where's the proof in you?

And so it goes, this soldier knows
The battle with the heart isn't easily won
And so it goes, this soldier knows
The battle with the heart isn't easily won
But it can be won, but it can be won
But it can be won, but it can be won

And so it goes, this soldier knows
The battle with the heart isn't easily won
And so it goes, this soldier knows
The battle with the heart isn't easily won

And so it goes, this soldier knows
(And so it goes)
The battle with the heart isn't easily won
(The war is won)

And so it goes, this soldier knows
(And so it goes)
The battle with the heart isn't easily won
(The war is won)
But it can be won, but it can be won
