Gm Cm Gm
We laid our names to rest
D# Cm
Along the dotted line.
Gm
We left our date of birth
Cm
And our history behind.
Cm D#
We were full of life,
F Gm
We could barely hold it in.
F
We were amateurs at war,
Cm
Strangers to suffering.
Gm D#
We made our families proud
Gm
But scared at the same time.
F
We promised we’d be safe,
Cm
Another lie from the front lines.
D#
Our backs against the wall,
Gm
We’re surrounded and afraid.
F
Our lives now in the hands
Cm
Of the soldiers taking aim.
D#
Our questions ricochet
Gm
Like broken satellites:
F
How our bodies, born to heal,
Gm
Become so prone to die?
[Cm]
Gm
Though time is ruthless,
Cm
It showed us kindness in the end,
(By slowing down enough,)
(A second chance to make amends.)
Gm Cm D#
As life replayed, we heard a voice proclaim:
Cm D#
"lay your weapons down!
Gm
They’re calling off the war
F
On account of losing track
Cm
Of what we’re fighting for."
D#
So we found our way back home,
Cm Gm
Let our cuts and bruises heal.
F
While a brand-new war began,
Cm
One that no one else could feel.
D#
Our nights have grown so long.
Gm
Now we beg for sound advice.
F
"let the brokenness be felt
Cm
'til you reach the other side.
D#
There is goodness in the heart
Gm
Of every broken man
F
Who comes right up to the edge
Cm
Of losing everything he has."
Gm D#
(Losing everything he has)
Gm
(Losing everything he has)
F
We were young enough to sign
D#
Along the dotted line.
(To build a better life)
Gm
(To build a better life)
F
Now we’re young enough to try
Gm
To build a better life.
Cm Gm
To build a better life.
