So the air's getting colder and the news keeps us scared
C Em F Am G
I still wrestle this summer from the bones of our tired blistered hands
F C Am G
Cause tonight we got drinks just a couple of friends
F Am G
And the girl that my brother likes is finally talking to him
F Am G
And his chest is all swelled like he's proud and happy
F G
He's got a great idea like he's making a memory
C Am G
Wake up and come out to the car
C Am
There's an east swell comin and its howling off shore
G F C Am
And we'll be lying like lions out in the sand
F Am G Am
But I'll be dead before you put a gun in my brothers hand

So we make jokes back home and we lighten the mood
C Em Am G
But growin up my parents saw what sending a kid to fight could really do
F C Am G
Now with the war I can tell they're a little shook up
F C F Am
Just a few mother's sons will never really be enough
F C F G Am G
Not until half of our names are etched out in the wall
F Em G
And the other half ruined from the things we saw
C Am G
Wake up and come out to the car
C Am
There's an east swell comin and its howling off shore
G F C Am
And we'll be lying like lions out in the sand
F Am G Am
But I'll be dead before you put a gun in my brothers hand
