G            C                    G4 G G4
Since a kid I always loved to sing.
G            C                               G4 G G4
I told my teachers, "that's what I want to be."
G                   C                        G4 G G4
And this road I'm on, as sketchy it may be
               F9
brings chances
       G4               G            G4  G
to beat the odds the devils has for me...

F9                             G4
And I'm never gonna miss a beat,
           G             F9
because brother I'm a soldier.
F9                             G4
No I'm never gonna miss a beat,
G                         F9
because I got to be a soldier.
F9                     G4                    F9
And in heaven maybe he is smiling down on me.
G4             G         G4                F9      G4
But behind the doors of my heart I am crying...

G         C
Epic warfare.
C          G4 G G4
It's spiritual.
G               C                             G4 G G4
When out of nowhere come the black cannon balls.
G                  C
Today we broke down
C                         G4 G G4
and caught wind of a tragedy
              F9
in the same hour.
         G4        G G4                F9
But tonight I, I won't sing about this...

F9                                  G4
Because I'm never gonna miss a beat,
G                         F9
cuz brother I'm a soldier.
F9                            G4
No I'm never gonna miss a beat,
G                                F9
because the Lord made me a soldier.
F9                    G4      G   G4          F9
And in heaven maybe he is smiling down on me.
 G4              G                            F9
But behind the doors of my heart I am crying.
      G4
Today, behind the doors of my heart...

G  C And in the end
G4  G The life we lead
G  C It will have made a difference
G4 G in a world unseen.

G F9 G4 G

F9 G4 G G4 F9
Oh ...

F9                            G4
So we're never gonna miss a beat,
G                             F9
because brother we are soldiers.
F9                            G4
No we're never gonna miss a beat,
G                            F9
because we got to be soldiers.

And in heaven maybe he is smiling down on me.
G4              G   G4                       F9
But behind those doors of my heart I am crying.
G4              G   G4                   F9
If I said it was easy always I'd be lying.
G4              G   G4                        F9
Today behind those doors of my heart I am crying.
G4              G   G4                   F9
If I said it was easy always I'd be lying.
G4              G   G4           F9
But behind the doors of my heart...
