Dm   Am Dm          F          C#  Dm
Hold my crown as we follow the sun
C#   Dm
Ooooooooh
Dm          Am           Dm
Choking the trigger is a chore
       F            C# Dm
Are we criminals of war?
C#   Dm
Ooooooooh 


       Dm      Bb            F       G
I just got the call and it's time to go
          Gm             Dm
Where the oil falls like snow
        Gm                Dm
And the bullets steal the show
      Dm         Bb                      F
To my family, my brothers, and all of my friends
    G             Gm           Dm
Say goodbye; I am going off to war
         Gm         Dm
And I am not coming home

Eb           Gm             Bb            F
  I’ve given everything for someone else’s war
Eb        Gm                 F
  Tell me what we're fighting for


Bb                  Dm
  That boy that you loved
      Eb                 F
He is gone, he’s lost forever
Bb                 Gm
  He just killed a man
        Eb
Who had promised his daughter
     F            Bb
He'd sing to her again
         Dm        Eb       F        Bb
La la la la  La la la la la la la
         Gm        Eb       F
La la la la  La la la la la la la


Eb           Gm             Bb            F
  I’ve given everything for someone else’s war
Eb        Gm                 F
  Tell me what we're fighting for
Eb           Gm             Bb            F
  I’ve given everything for someone else’s war
Eb        Gm                 F
  Tell me what we're fighting for


Dm   Am Dm          F          C#  Dm
Hold my crown as we follow the sun
C#   Dm
Ooooooooh
Dm          Am           Dm
Choking the trigger is a chore
       F            C# Dm
Are we criminals of war?
C#   Dm
Ooooooooh 


Eb           Gm             Bb            F
  I’ve given everything for someone else’s war
Eb        Gm                 F
  Tell me what we're fighting for
Eb           Gm             Bb            F
  I’ve given everything for someone else’s war
Eb        Gm                 F
  Tell me what we're fighting for

Dm       Bb             F             G
One last kiss we better make this one count
         Gm                          Dm
'Cause I can't seem to deal with the fact
                 Gm       Dm
That I may never see you again
          Dm           Bb
Send this letter to my mother 
                 F
Who cries in her bed
       G
She is scared
           Gm                Dm
‘Cause her boy's gone off to war
         Gm         Dm
And he's not coming home

Dm Am Dm   F C# Dm
Ooooooooh, ooooooooh
C#  Dm
Ooooooooh
