E                   G
Good, have I done good?
              D
I fell on command
                            E
Give me my first and last medal
                               G
Observed in ritual behind the door
        D
A heavy ivory white door
                        E
Where I've come off my hinges
                                G
Fire underground, I murdered a sentry there
         D
Without wanting to
        E
Wasn't nothing else to do
                                      G
Saw a squad of deserters hung from an oak
             D
Saw officers shot from their saddles
                  E
Through driving snow and through black smoke
                                           G
With a pack of feral dogs snapping at my hooves
             D
Eyes rolled back in their heads
                 E
The blank blessed eyesight of the dead
                                  G
Entire battalions snuffed like a spark
             D
Beat like a heart
               E
Drowned by an ocean
                                  G
Don't tell me the ending of the play
               D
Don't make me look
             Em
Look in the mirror
