[Intro] | E | E [Verse 1]
I was bEorn to be of service Camp LeBjeune just felt like home I had F#mhonor, I found purpose Sir, yes Asir
That's what I know
They Esent us to a place I never Bheard of weeks before When you're F#mnineteen, it ain't hard to sleep In the Adesert on God's floor Close your F#meyes, stop counting sheep You ain't in Abootcamp anymore
[Instrumental 1] | E | E | A | A E [Verse 2]
We were tEaught to shoot our rifles Man and Bwoman, side by side Thought we'd be F#mmet as liberators In a Athousand year old fight I got this Epainful ringing in my ear From an BIED last night But no F#mlead lined humvee war machine, could Asave my sergeant's life Three more F#msoldiers, six civilians Need these Awords to come out right
[Chorus]
EGod of mercy, BGod of light F#mSave your children Afrom this life EHear these words, this Bhumble plea For F#mI have seen the Asuffering And Ewith this prayer I'm Bhoping That Awe, can be unbroEken
[Instrumental 2] | E | E | A | A E [Verse 3]
It's 18 moEnths now, I've been stateside With this Bmedal on my chest But there are F#mthings I can't remember And there are Athings I won't forget I Elie awake at night with dreams the Bdevil shouldn't see I wanna F#mscream, but I can't breathe And Christ, I'm Asweating through these sheets Where's my F#mbrothers? Where's my country? Where's my Ahow things used to be?
[Chorus]
EGod of mercy, BGod of light F#mSave your children Afrom this life EHear these words, this Bhumble plea For F#mI have seen the Asuffering And Ewith this prayer I'm Bhoping That Awe, can be unbroEken
[Bridge]
My C#mservice dog's done more for me Than the Amedication would There ain't no Eangel that's coming to save me But Beven if they could
[Verse 4]
Today, E22 will die from suicide Just like Byesterday, they're gone I live my F#mlife for each tomorrow So their Amemories will live on Once we were Eboys, and we were strangers Now we're Bbrothers and we're men Someday you'll F#mask me, was it worth it to be of Aservice in the end? Well, the F#mblessing, and the curse is, yeah, I'd Ado it all again
[Outro] | E | B | A | A E | | E | B | A | A E | | E | B | A | A E | | E | B | A | A E | | E (10 bars, then hold final chord)
