Verse 1
C                         G                             Am
Rain falls on a moonless night, sil..ent screams grow louder.
Am                       Em                     D
Booming sounds far away, air smells like gun powder,
C                      G                       Am
And deadly flashes of light...brighten up the skies.
Am                         Em                D
Terror fills the night but I can't hear the cries.

Verse 2
C                        G                               Am
Endless burst of cannon fire, vio...lent flames own the dark
Am                     Em                       D
Explosions all night, timed to the beat of my heart
C                            G              Am
Feel the beating heart grow heavy...as I ponder
Am                     Em            D
How many lives have ended tonight I wonder.

Chorus
C                F          C
Your war is over boy, go on home
C                  Am            C
Get a job and move on with your life.
C                       F              C
People won't understand what you have done.
C                   Am       C
Just remember God's on our side
C                      F                   C
Go on home boy, find peace where you came from.

Verse 3
C                        G                              Am
Lying in bed, rumbling sounds and brok...en shards of light
Am                     Em                        D
Pierces my sleep and opens my eyes wide with fright.
C                      G                                Am
Smell of ozone in the air...can't breathe heart beats fast,
Am                      Em                  D
Wide awake my mind struggles to leave the past.

Verse 4
C                             G                        Am
I gaze through a dark window, search...ing the angry skies
Am                         Em                    D
Thunder fills my ears, as lightning turns on my eyes.
C                         G                 Am
In panic, I roll over and feel...you by my side,
Am                               Em         D
Then blessed peace comes back to me for a while

End Chorus
C                         F          C
My war's not over, since I've been home
C                     Am            C
I got a job and moved on with my life.
C                            F       C
People won't understand what I have done.
C                     Am      C
Ever day I pray God's on my side
C                         F                    C
There's no peace when I think of where I came from.

       C G Am C

My war's not over, since I've been home
C                     Am            C
I got a job and moved on with my life.
C                            F       C
People don't understand what I have done.
C                     Am      C
Ever day I pray God's on my side
C                         F                    C
There's no peace when I think of where I came from.
