[F#]
[C#] Once [F#] I was a soldier and [C#] I fought on [F#] foreign sands for you.
[C#] Once I [F#] was a hunter
[C#] and I brought [F#] home fresh meat for you.
[C#] Once I [F#] was a lover and [C#] I searched behind your eyes for [A#m] you.
[F#] [C#]
Soon there'll be another to tell you I [F#] was just a [A#m] liar.
Sometimes [F#] I wonder [G#] just for a while
[A#m] will you ever [G#] remember me?

[F#] [C#]
Though you [F#] have forgotten
[C#] all of [F#] our rubbish dreams,
[C#] I find [F#] myself searching through
[C#] the ashes [F#] of our wounds.
[C#]
For the days [F#] when we [A#m] smiled, [C#]
and the hours [F#] that ran [C#]
with the magic [F#] of our eyes,
[C#]
and the silence [F#] of our [A#m] world.
Sometimes I [F#] wonder just [G#] for a while [A#m] will you ever [G#] remember me?
[A#m]
Ever [A#m] remember me?
