D5
Staring at the carnage
G5                               C5
Praying that the sun would never rise
        A#5               D5
Living another day in disguise
       G5               C5
These feelings can't be right
             A#5                      D5
Lend me your courage to stand up and fight
G5   C5           A#5
On tonight

D5 G5 C5 A#5
Ooooo....
             D5
Stand up and fight

D5                        A#5
The fighting rages on and on
G5                          C5
To challenge me you must be strong
D5                         A#5
I walk your land but don't belong
G5                            C5
Two million soldiers can't be wrong

D5                              A#5
It's no fun but I've been here before
                                        F5
I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war
                                A#5
(Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things)
D5                                  A#5
Some are scared, others killing for fun
                                      F5
I shot a mother right in front of her son
                                      A#5
(Take this from my consciousness, and please erase my dreams)

D5               A#5
Fight for honor, fight for your life
C5                F5        
Pray to God that our side is right
    G5               D5
And though we won, I still may lose
G5              C5
Until I make it home to you
D5                A#5
I see our mothers filled with tears
C5                     F5 
Grew up so fast where did those years go?
G5            D5
Memories won't let you cry 
G5               C5
Unless I don't return tonight

D5                            A#5
So many soldiers on the other side
                                      F5
I take their lives so they can't take mine
                                  A#5
(Scared to make it out alive, now murder's all I know)
D5                                    A#5
Nobody tells me all the reasons we're here
                                        F5
I have my weapon so there's nothing to fear
                                A#5
(Another day, another life, but nothing real to show for)

D5               A#5
Fight for honor, fight for your life
C5                F5        
Pray to God that our side is right
    G5               D5
And though we won, I still may lose
G5              C5
Until I make it home to you
D5                A#5
I see our mothers filled with tears
C5                     F5 
Grew up so fast where did those years go?
G5            D5
Memories won't let you cry 
G5               C5
Unless I don't return tonight

D5                      
Staring at the carnage
G5                               C5
Praying that the sun would never rise
       A#5             D5
Living another day in disguise
      G5                C5
These feelings can't be right
             A#5                      D5
Lend me your courage to stand up and fight

D5                            C5                 D5
Watching the death toll rise, wondering how I'm alive
           G5                      A#5
Strangers' blood on my hands, I've shot all I can
D5                          C5                          D5
There are no silent nights, watching your brothers all die
       G5                       A#5
To destroy all their plans with no thought of me
D5 C5          F5   C5            D5
No thought of me, no thought of me

D5 A#5 C5 F5 G5 D5 C5
Ohhhhh.....

D5
Walk the city lonely
G5                              C5
Memories that haunt are passing by
           A#5                  D5  
A murderer walks your street tonight
   G5             C5
Forgive me for my crimes
A#5                  G5     D5
Don't forget that I was so young
                        F5              C5                 D5  
Fought so scared in the name of God and country
