AmFC The king’s taken back the throne. AmFC The useless seed is sown. AmFEm When they say they’re cutting off the phone, G C (/F/C) I tell 'em you're not home
AmFC No place to hide, AmFC You're fightin' as a soldier on their side AmFEm You’re still a soldier in your mind G C (/F/C) Though nothing's on the line
AmFC You say it’s money that we need, AmFC As if we’re the only mouths to feed. AmFEm And no no matter what you say, G C (/F/C) There’s some debts you'll never pay.
[Hook 1]
AmEFC Working for the church while your family dies AmE You take what they give you FC And you keep it inside. AmEFC Every spark of friendship and love G will die without a home CFEmGC Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone".
[Verse 2]
AmFC I can taste the fear. AmFC Lift me up and take me out of here. AmFEm Don’t wanna fight, don’t wanna die G C (/F/C) Just wanna hear you cry.
AmFC Who’s gonna throw the very first stone? AmFC Oh! who’s gonna reset the bone? AmFEm Walking with your head in a sling G C (/F/C) Wanna hear the soldier sing:
[Hook 2]
