[Verse 1]
C
I got your letter today
C G
And I miss you all so much here
Am C
I can't wait to see you all
C G
And I'm counting the days here
[Verse 2]
F C
I still believe that there's gold
C F
At the end of the world
C F C
And I'll come home to Illinois
F C G C
On the day after tomorrow
[Verse 3]
C
It is so hard and it's cold here
C G
And I'm tired of taking orders
Am C
And I miss old Rockford town
C G
Up by the Wisconsin border
[Verse 4]
F C
What I miss, you won't believe
C F
Shovelling snow and raking leaves
C F C
And my plane will touch down
F C G C
On the day after tomorrow
[Verse 5]
C
I close my eyes every night
C G
And I dream that I can hold you
Am C
They fill us full of lies, everyone buys
C G
About what it means to be a soldier
[Verse 6]
F C
I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel
C F
About all the blood that's been spilled
C F C
Will god on this throne get me back home
F C G C
On the day after tomorrow
[Verse 7]
C
You can't deny, the other side
C G
Don't want to die anymore then we do
Am C
What I'm trying to say is, don't they pray
C G
To the same god that we do?
[Verse 8]
F C
And tell me how does god choose
C F
Whose prayers does he refuse?
C F C
Who turns the wheel Who throws the dice
F C G C
On the day after tomorrow
[Instrumental]
C F C F C G
[Verse 9]
C
I'm not fighting for justice
C G
I am not fighting for freedom
Am C
I am fighting, for my life
C G
And another day in the world here
[Verse 10]
F C
I just do what I've been told
C F
We're just the gravel on the road
C F C
And only the lucky ones come home
F C G C
On the day after tomorrow
[Verse 11]
C
And the summer, it too will fade
C G
And with it brings the winter's frost dear
Am C
And I know we too are made
C G
Of all the things that we have lost here
[Verse 12]
F C
I'll be twenty-one today
C F
I been saving all my pay
C F C
And my plane will touch down
F C G C
On the day after tomorrow
C F C
And my plane will touch down
F C G C
On the day after tomorrow
