When you're behind enemy lines
G Bm C7 C C C D D
life isn't nearly as weird as you'd feared:
Am F C D
You can continue to chase your career;
Am7 C D Em
whatever your hobbies you'll still have them here.
Bm Bm Bm Bm C C D D7
Don't worry, it's natural, your heart's attachment to hearts on the other side -
Bm Bm Bm Bm C C D D
through combat's confusion quite soon the illusion of having a heart will subside.
Am7 Am7 Bm Bm7

C C D D9
just like me you will see life goes on and on
Am D7 C D G6 G C D
after you find yourself behind enemy lines.

Being behind enemy lines
G Bm C7 C D D
is better than one would expect, well except:
Am F C D

for everyone's lonely. The trouble is only: to live with yourself can get grim.
But don't worry, I'm sure once you've gone
just like me you will see life goes on and on and on and on
after you find yourself behind enemy lines.
