Dear Mr. President,
A5                     D5                      C5
I?m a soldier with the 82nd Airborne stationed overseas.
F5                                      A5
My family and my friends all pray that God is watching over me.
D5                     C5
Even God can?t save us now.

Bb5              F5
Mr. President, I?m writing you this poem ,
Bb5                                      F5
And I?ve sent along this picture of my family back at home.
Bb5                    A5            C5
I hear my heart beat loud in these killing fields alone.
Bb5                       F5
I always hit my target; I just miss my happy home.

Bb5                            F5
When will be the end of this all?
         Bb5                            F5
Tell me, when will be the end of this all?
             Bb5       A5          C5
Now that our back is against the wall.

    F5      C5
Whoa, oh yea

---Repeat Intro once.---

             F5                           A5
I joined the army like my father did and his father did before.
      D5                              C5
I saw Army green and canvas look like perfect art of war.
     F5                        A5
The images I see now are like ones I saw before.
D5                    C5
How am I a hero if I don?t know what it?s for?

Bb5                        F5
Days are getting longer, nights I never get to sleep,
           Bb5                             F5
And I just had a newborn daughter that I hope I get to see.
         Bb5              A5                   C5
I?ve got bloodshed on my conscience; she?s so innocent and free.
         Bb5                              F5
I just killed some baby?s father, better him instead of me.

Bb5                           F5
When will be the end of this all?
Bb5                                    F5
Tell me, when will be the end of this all?
Bb5                   A5          C5
Now that our back is against the wall?
F5                  C5
Mankind is getting small.

--Repeat Chorus Once--

F5                                      A5
Before the war, life it was beautiful, we marched out in the sun.
         D5                             C5
Now it?s stars and stripes at funerals, our darkest days have come.
F5                            A5
Dying in this combat zone, it scares me half to death,
D5                                             C5
?Cause if I don?t make it to heaven, what?s to live for after death?

Bb5                                             F5
I?ve seen mothers of the friends I?ve lost out marching in a crowd,
Bb5                                                F5
?Cause their sons wear purple hearts inside their coffins in the ground.
Bb5                 A5                      C5
When they left for war, they thought their mommies would be proud.
Bb5                                      F5
When they faced off with their enemies, they fought to take them down.

Bb5                    F5
Hatred is tearing us all apart,
Bb5                        F5
Separation is tearing the world apart,
Bb5            A5          C5
Corruption is playing its part.
