Verse 1:
G5
  I see the sweat is dripping
D5         C5
  That's because you know 
D5            F5   E5
just what I'm thinking
G5
Don't look back 
it's me who follows
D5                C5
  And there ain't nothing 
     D5         F5  E5
from me you can borrow
G5
You like to hide behind lies
                           D5
But we see through your disguise
           C5
It's not a threat or a 
D5           F5  E5 
curse Just a proper verse
G5
  I'm gonna make you let go
                         D5
Of what you tried to withhold
          C5
And I can promise 
   D5       F5   E5
it won't be long
D5          C5      D5
  Yes I can promise


Chorus 1:

Boy you better pray

We don't seek you out
  G5
no  You better pray


Verse 2:
G5
  You think the war is over
D5          C5
  I've only shown you 
    D5         F5  E5
the tip of the iceberg
G5
  And you rely upon your lawyers
D5       C5
  But at night when you 
 D5           F5 E5
sleep does it bother you?
G5
You like to hide behind lies
                           D5
But we see through your disguise
           C5
It's not a threat or a 
D5           F5  E5 
curse Just a proper verse
G5
  I'm gonna make you let go
                         D5
Of what you tried to withhold
          C5
And I can promise 
   D5       F5   E5
it won't be long
D5          C5      D5
  Yes I can promise


Chorus 2:
               D5  C5 G5
Boy you better pray
                  D5  C5 G5
We don't seek you well  no
           D5  C5 G5
You better hope
We might lose 
   D5   C5 G5
control no  no

Verse 1: (you can use the chords, or the intro...either one sounds good)

A5                     F5
A kid came up to me now just the other day
A5                     F5

If everything came crashing down on top of me
A5          F5
How would I stay torn?

It?s funny how the words of a child can be
A5                            F5
Simple, but the thought there is so meaningful
A5                            F5
Makes me wonder what I would say to me
A5             F5
In the eyes of another

Verse 1:
G5                              F5
  My Grandpa said to me, "grandson
            C5
sit down we need to talk
G5
  in life, there may be times 
     F5               C5
when it gets hard to walk the walk
G5                         F5
  It's easier to take the path
               C5
that most have traveled on
G5                             F5
  But then again sometimes to do 
                     C5
what's right you must walk alone."


Chorus:
F5         C5
  And that is 
         G5
a lonely road
Ohh When this 
F5           C5
world burns down
             G5
Deep in your soul
             F5    C5
Ohh You will find there's
             G5
a piece left behind
         F5    C5
You will find there's
           G5   Eb5
a piece to find
          G5    Eb5
(Piece to find)


Verse 2:
G5
  Some people are unkind to 
F5                    C5
those who see things different
  G5
oh We've all felt pain in 
        F5             C5
ways it hurts to even bring it up
G5
  But that don't mean that patience
F5                C5
Take this motion lying down
G5
  I'll stand and fight until the
F5               C5
day they put me in the ground


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
Bb5
  And now I've taught
          F5
you all I know
So take this seed
               G---
and let it grow
Bb5
  Though I'm here now
             F5
I'll soon be gone
I did what i can to
               G---
try it make it strong
(I did what i can to
try it make it strong)
(I can see that
you're strong)


(Repeat Chorus twice)

Verse 1:
    C5
Its January 1970 
         G5
do you remember me
    F5
You put me on a boat across 
               G5
the sea in the name of victory
    C5
But much to my surprised when I 
                     G5
arrived there was no welcoming committee
   F5
Instead there was a man for me to 
               G5
kill and now I see all this too real


Refrain:
C5
  Then I saw him standing
G5
with a bayonet
F5
  and as I ran towards 
       G5
him he hardly broke a sweat
C5
  When I took his life 
   G5
he fell to his knees
F5
  And as his eyes began to
G5
fade he whispered softly


Chorus 1:
C5
Godspeed this letter
 G5
away from here
     F5
I've sealed it with my tears 
     G5
and stomped it with my
          C5 
fists And godspeed this 
        G5
letter away from you
   F5
My work down here is through
    G5
I'm on my way to better
         C5         G5 F5 G5 
days and so are you


Verse 2:
    C5
I'm in his pocket that I saw the 
picture of his children and his 
G5          F5
family And I began to realize this 
                      G5
person I despised, in actuality
    C5
Was not much different from
myself we probably could have 
                  G5
taught each other many things
    F5
And now I know its much too 
ate although I couldn't hesitate
  GI checked his gun and 

his chamber was empty


(Repeat Refrain)

           C5   G5
