Tabbed by: Shane Disdain
Tuning: Standard EADGBe
Key: E MAJOR
INTRO: A5 B5 E5 x4
VERSE #1:
C#5 A5 B5 E5
Started out on this war that I fought
C#5 A5 B5 E5
Homeless and hungry, I walked through the night
C#5 A5 B5 E5
Wandered these streets with nowhere to go
C#5 A5 B5 E5
And I walk through this life and I felt so alone.
C#5 A5 B5 E5
People would tell me that I am so lost,
C#5 A5 B5 E5
But I'll never give up, no matter the cost, no
C#5 A5 B5 E5
I will never throw down all of my cards
C#5 A5 B5 E5
I will be victorious with all of my scars.
CHORUS:
E5 B5 C#5 A5
I fight this war, but I fight alone
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Broken bodies and broken bones
E5 B5 C#5 A5
I fight disaster, fire and stone
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Broken bodies and broken bones.
VERSE #2:
C#5 A5 B5 E5
So many years people questioned my faith
C#5 A5 B5 E5
They all wrote me off, said it was too late
C#5 A5 B5 E5
Staring up I saw the look in their eyes,
C#5 A5 B5 E5
Nothing but hate, or a smile as disguise.
C#5 A5 B5 E5
Think I've forgotten where I came from ,
C#5 A5 B5 E5
Think I've forgotten when you called me a bum and,
C#5 A5 B5 E5
I will forgive, but I will not let go
C#5 A5 B5 E5
Until the end of time I just want you to know.
CHORUS:
E5 B5 C#5 A5
I fight this war, but I fight alone
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Broken bodies and broken bones
E5 B5 C#5 A5
I fight disaster, fire and stone
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Broken bodies and broken bones.

FINAL CHORUS:
E5 B5 C#5 A5
I fight this war, but I fight alone
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Broken bodies and broken bones
E5 B5 C#5 A5
I fight disaster, fire and stone
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Broken bodies and broken bones
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Broken bodies and broken bones
E5 B5 C#5 A5 E(let ring)
Broken bodies and broken bones.
