[Intro]
D A7 D A7 D
D G D
If you're lookin' for a fighter who'll defend you
G D A7
Love you for your freedom I'm your man
D G D
And I ain't gonna leave you for the crazy things you're doin'
E A7
Don't ask me to lend a helpin' hand
D G D
You were such a pretty dream as I remember
D G D
You were young and strong and God was on your side
D G D
The vision slowly faded like the wonder from your eyes
A7 D
You traded your compassion for your pride
[Chorus]
D G D
But I still believe in all that believed in
G D A7
And I pray to God that you will in the end
D G D
You'll see the golden chances that you're wastin'
A7 D
Be the lovin' beauty that you can
[SOLO]
D G D G D A7
D G D A7 D
[Chorus]
D G D
And I still believe in all that we believed in (yeah yeah)
G D A7
And I pray to God that you will in the end
D G D
And you'll see the golden chances that you're wastin'
A7 D
Be the lovin' beauty that you can
[Outro]
