Song: More Than Sacrifice
Artist: Jack Nelson
Album: Let 'er Buck!
G C
Seventeen wild and free
G C
took you to the dance and you loved me
D C
down by the lake with a bottle of shine
D C
we were skinny dippin' and havin' us a good time
G C
a year together and we were off at school
G C
you didn't know it then but I was your fool
D C
but I was out of money and short on time
D C
I could feel your tears when I signed that line
[Chorus]
G C
No one ever talks about the other price we pay
D C G
like the things that we're missin' while we're away
G C
I guess It's kind of like we're livin' that good ol' rodeo
D G
or at least that's how those country songs go
C D
now I've got more respect for the boys that lost their lives
C D G
but sometimes coming home is more than sacrifice
G C
G C
G C
I was overseas when I got the news
G C
that times had changed you found someone new
D C
I finally got home but you were married
D C
I guess I missed my chance yeah that ship was sailing
[Chorus]
G C
No one ever talks about the other price we pay
D C G
like the things that we're missin' while we're away
G C
I guess It's kind of like we're livin' that good ol' rodeo
D G
or at least that's how those country songs go
C D
now I've got more respect for the boys that lost their lives
C D G
but sometimes coming home is more than sacrifice
G C
G C
D C
D C
G C
There's always more to this story
G C
like missin' the birth of your newborn baby
D C
and I knew a guy whose wife was caught cheatin'
D C
and to this day you can still hear his heart breakin'
G C
well the bombs go off and the bullets fly and pictures are all we have
G C
We can tell ourselves all day long that it really ain't that bad
D C
watch our best friends lose their lives as the world fades to grey
D C
we'll grab our guns with blood stained hands and turn and fight away
[Chorus]
G C
No one ever talks about the other price we pay
D C G
like the things that we're missin' while we're away
G C
I guess It's kind of like we're livin' that good ol' rodeo
D G
or at least that's how those country songs go
C D
now I've got more respect for the boys that lost their lives
C D G
but sometimes coming home is more than sacrifice
[Tag]
C D
I said I've got more respect for the boys that lost their lives
C D G
but sometimes coming home is more than sacrifice
