[Chorus]

I ta^Amke my medicine, do^Emn't you take mine The^Am pills I take to survive, just ke^Emep you high I^C've seen war ...tr^Emough these eyes,... t^Crapped in a chair, shrapnel shr^Emedded my thighes.......I^C'd stop you ... but^Em I can't .... r^Amise.

[Verse 1]

^CTwo tours in Takrit and another in Kandahar Manning the 50 cal, every^E7 day for me was war ^CSlept under the Humvee, sand in my eyes Not sure who the enemy is, what's truth, wha^E7t's lies ^C12 hours on patrol, no water, no chance to eat Yesterday I cut a man in half and watched him bl^Eeed ^AmI made friends, said they cared ^CStill looked over my shoulder ev^Amery moment t^Ehere

[Verse 2]

On a^C supply route north west of Kabul My fear and discomfort made me feel like a f^Eool ^CAnd 30 hours on guard, stepped down from my gun in a moment of lap^Ese an IED left me numb. ^AmIll never leave this floor it's forever a winter ^EI'll never again feel the s^Amun The^C same feeling I had the day ^AmI went ^Enumb

[Verse 3]

^CMy winds shifted, patroits will carry me away ^E7In two days I'll leave the VA, no^Amthing left for me to c^E7laim ^CNever sought fortune, I ne^E7ver sought fame ^Cdefended my country, fo^E7ught in her name ^CNever ask for recognition, never assi^E7gned any blame ^AmWhen I wheel down the ramp, I won't comp^E7lain about the pain ^CCan't understand the theft only o^Amne more ... high ... to^E7 gain

[Verse 4]

^CCan't believe there are those who prey on the wo^E7unded ones ^CI'm still a soldier and I can't leave this w^E7rong undone I ^Cwon't leave here and allow this addict to hurt ^E7anyone Th^Ame night before I leave I'll lay out a plan I'^E7m still a soldier, sitting .....I can still make a stand When ^Che brings the chair to wheel me away Th^E7is marine's last mission will be to make him p^Amay
