[Verse]
G Em/G
What can you see from your window?
G Em/G
I can't see anything from mine.
G Em/G
Flags on the side of the highway
C/G G D
and scripture on grocery store signs.
G Em/G
Maybe eighteen was too early.
G Em/G
Maybe thirty or forty is too.
G Em/G
Did you get your chance to make peace with the man
C/G G D
before he sent down his angels for you?
[Chorus]

Mamas and grandmamas love you
Em/G F#/G G F#/G
'cause that's all they know how to do.

You never planned on the bombs in the sand
C/G G D
or sleeping in your dress blues.
[Verse]
G Em/G
Your wife said this all would be funny
G Em/G
when you came back home in a week.
G Em/G
You'd turn twenty-two and we'd celebrate you
C/G G D
in a bar or a tent by the creek.
G Em/G
Your baby would just about be here.
G Em/G
Your very last tour would be up
G Em/G
but you won't be back. They're all dressing in black

drinking sweet tea in styrofoam cups.

American boys hate to lose.

[Bridge]
[Verse]
G Em/G
Now the high school gymnasium's ready,
G Em/G
full of flowers and old legionnaires.
G Em/G
Nobody showed up to protest,
C/G G D
just sniffle and stare.
G Em/G
But there's red, white, and blue in the rafters
G Em/G
and there's silent old men from the corps.
G Em/G
What did they say when they shipped you away
C/G G D
to fight somebody's Hollywood war?
[Outro]
Em/G F#/G G
Nobody here could forget you.
Em/G F#/G G F#/G
You showed us what we had to lose.

You never planned on the bombs in the sand
C/G G D
or sleeping in your dress blues.
