   Dm
   Staring at the carnage
   Bb                              C
   praying that the sun will never rise
            Bb    A         Dm
   Living another day in disguise
         Bb                C
   These feelings can't be right
                Bb         A            Dm
   lend me your courage to stand up and fight
   Bb   C       Bb A
   on tonight
 
   Dm Bb C Bb
   Ooooo....
   A            Dm

Dm                                Bb C
   Now fighting rages on and on
Dm                              C       Bb C
   to challenge me you must be strong
Dm                                         Bb C
   I'll walk your land but don't be long
Dm                                C      Bb C
   two million soldiers can't be wrong
 
C Dm                                C Dm
   Its no fun but I've been here before
                                           F
   I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war
    F             Bb               A             Bb
   (Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things)
C Dm                                    C Dm
   Some are scared others killing for fun
                                   F
   I shot a mother in front of her son.
    F                   Bb                A               Bb
   (Change this from my consciousness and please erase my dreams)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   Dm              Bb
   Fight for honor fight for your life
   C                F        A
   Pray to god that our side is right
       Gm              A        Bb
   You know we won but still we lose
     C
   until I make it home to you
     Dm              Bb
   I see your mother still in tears
        C                F         A
   grew up so fast where did those years go
   Gm            A       Bb    C
   Memories wont let you cry unless I don't return tonight

C Dm                              C Dm
   So many soldiers on the other side
                                        F
   I take their live so they can't take mine
    F                 Bb            A             Bb
   (Scared to make it out alive now murders all I know)
C Dm                                     C Dm
   Nobody tells me all the reasons were here
                                       F
   I am a weapon so there's nothing to fear
      F           Bb             A               Bb
   (Another day another life but nothing real to show for)

[Bridge]
 
   Dm
   Watching the death toll rise wondering how I'm alive
             Bb
   Strangers blood on my hands showed all I can
   Dm
   There were no sunny nights watching your brothers all die
         Bb
   To destroy all their plans with no thought of me
   Dm    C             Bb    A
   No... thought... of me...
      Bb      C  Dm
   No thought of me

   We'll walk the city lonely
   Bb                            C
   memories that are not passing by
              Bb         A          Dm
   A murderer walks your streets tonight
      Bb             C
   Forgive me for my crimes
   Bb       A          Bb           Dm
   Don't forget that I was so young but so scared
          C#              C
   In the name of God and Country
