Intro Am,F,C,G

Am                    F
I landed here in country
C                        G
With my nations guns and flags
Am                    F          C             G
I've been here three weeks now maybe little more
Am                     F
Tomorrow they will ask us
C                    G
To take that stand of trees
Am                   F
The fear I feel inside my chest
C                      G
Is the same as my enemy's

Am,F,C,G x2

Am                    F
There is a stutter in my lungs
C                       G
And a chatter in my breathing
Am                   F               C             G
I'm engaged to be married to the method of my leaving
Am                   F               C             G
I'm rarely found in situations that cause me to deliver
Am                     F
Tonight I'll stay awake and write you
C                        G
To keep me from the shivers

Am,F,C,G x 2

Am               F        C                   G
If you were a friend, I'd want to save you pain
Am              F         C         G
If you were a lover, I'd do the same
Am              F
If we were joined,
C                 G
I'd want to capture stars
Am                   F
Let them loose inside your chest
C                     G
Forever keep you warm

Am,F,C,G x 2

Am                   F
Tomorrow I'll meet my maker
C                      G
My body broken on the shore
Am                 F       C                   G
I'll ask for my forgiveness and then for nothing more
Am                 F        C               G
Every night you lay awake for now and ever more
Am                        F
My breath will be the breeze you feel
C                          G
From a distant shore

Am,F,C,G x 4

Am                  F
Give me hope give me light
C                   G                 
Let the dawn follow night
Am                  F
I will stay awake until
C                     G
There is nothing left to see


Am                  F
Give me hope give me light
C                   G                 
Let the dawn follow night
Am                  F
I will stay awake until
C                     G
There is nothing left to see
