Soldier On Chords

(ver. 2)
The Temper Trap
Intro
Bm D F#m G x2


Verse 1
Bm                 D
Who wants to know
F#m                 G
All that is gold is rusting
Bm                D
No one will know
F#m                   G
When seasons cease to change and
Bm              D
How far we've gone
F#m                 G
How far we're going
Bm           
It's the here and the now
D
And the love for the sound
F#m                         G       Bm
Of the moments that keep us moving


Verse 2
               D
Waves crash along
F#m                  G
The battered, lonely lighthouse
Bm                   D
Tomorrow she's gone
F#m                 G
And if not, someday somehow
Bm  D     F#m     G
Are these hands a waste
Bm                D
Well this side of mortality is
F#m           G
Scaring me to death
 G F#m Em     Em F F#m
To death

F#m F Em


Chorus
                     Em F F#m  F#m F Em
Don't think about it at all
              Em F F#m 
Just keep your head low
G                        A
And don't think about it all



Bm D F#m G x2 (over the ooohhhs)


Verse 3
Bm          D
Soldier on, soldier on
F#m             G
Keep your heart close to the ground
Bm         D
Soldier on, soldier on, 
F#m             G        G F#m Em    Em F F#m   F#m F Em 
keep your heart close to the ground


Chorus
                      Em F F#m  F#m F Em
Don't think about it at all
              Em F F#m 
Just keep your head low
G
Don't think about it
   A
At all


(Now would be a good time to use a drive pedal on low if you have one, or crank your gain a little bit. 
The rest of the song is a little heavier)


Verse 4

Bm D F#m G

Bm D          F#m      G
Yeah, will you take me tonight
Bm D          F#m      G        Bm D F#m G
Yeah, will you take me tonight
Bm D          F#m      G    
Yeah, will you take me tonight
G         Bm D F#m G
Ooooh... tonight

Bm D F#m G x5 (you can play around between picking and stumming to get the adlib feel of the song)


Verse 5 (Strum each chord once)
Bm
Soldier on
D
Soldier on
F#m
Keep your heart
G
Close to the ground
