the wGar
Flashback to Falluja
Lost another best friend
Three tours of duty and you're wondering when it's all gonna end
Bodies broken and bones shattered
Blood and dust in your mouth
Gettin weary but you're runnin with the few and the proud
Sometimes you wonder why you went, You never wondered what you stayed on for
You've been home for a couple a years now buddy but you're still fightin the war
(Bridge)
Cadd9Men go off to war for a hundred rGeasons
But they Amall come home with theC/B same deCmons
Cadd9Some you can keep at bDay for awhile, soGme will pin youG/F# to the Emfloor
You've beenCadd9 home for a couple of yDears now buddy but you'reCadd9 still fiDghtin
the wGar
The bedspread is frayin
Faded and tearin apart
Two strangers holdin each other in the dark
Tell me, what were you dreamin' How did you think it would end'
How many heroes are scattered out into the wind'
And all the happily ever afters turn to broken dishes and slammin doors
You've been home for a couple a years now buddy but you're still fightin the war
