The Sweetest Victory

   [Verse 1]
C#m                     C#m7
Deepest cut that can be healed
C#m
By the gun...or by the sword:
C#m                              C#m7
It's hope that you can turn yourself
A                         B
Outside at the end of the war
Em                              Em7
The cold sweat sticks...to your heart
Em
Your mouth gets drier and drier
Em                Em7
The battle inside rages on
     C                      D     Dsus4
Your pulse races higher and higher


   [Chorus]
G        D  C     Em                   D
Sweetest victory; I love you more than life itself
G        D  C     Em                      D
Sweetest victory; you give me strength to know myself
    G     D  C     Em                       D
Oh, sweet victory; my soul is yours and the glory is mine
G        D  C     Em                     D
Sweetest victory; the far-off stars will always shine

   [Verse 2]
C#m                         C#m7
The tooth like nails rip me up
C#m
I can make it disappear
C#m                          C#m7
Time to forget has passed me by
A                           B
There's no place to hide my fear
Em                      Em7
Hate and pain filled me up
Em
Every minute takes longer and longer
Em                           Em7
I bead of sweat 'cause drops of blood
      C                D      Dsus4
Makes me stronger and stronger


   [Chorus]
G        D  C     Em                   D
Sweetest victory; I love you more than life itself
G        D  C     Em                      D
Sweetest victory; you give me strength to know myself
    G     D  C     Em                       D
Oh, sweet victory; my soul is yours and the glory is mine
G        D  C     Em                     D
Sweetest victory; the far-off stars will always shine

Em                              Em7
The cold sweat sticks...to your heart
Em
Your mouth gets drier and drier
Em                Em7
The battle inside rages on
     C                      D     Dsus4   D
Your pulse races higher and higher
