[ Предположительная тональность: Em ] Вступление: Em }x4 Em I was born to be of service D Camp Lejeune just felt like home Am I had honor, I found purpose C Sir, yes, sir, that's what I know Em They sent us to a place D I'd never heard of weeks before Am When you're 19 it ain't hard to sleep C In the desert on God's floor Am Close your eyes, stop counting sheep C You ain't in boot camp anymore Em We were taught to shoot our rifles D Men and women side by side Am Thought we'd be met as liberators C In a thousand-year-old fight Em I got this painful ringing in my ear D From an IED last night Am But no lead-lined Humvee war machine C Could save my sergeant's life Am Three more soldiers, six civilians C Need these words to come out right Припев: G D God of mercy, God of light Am C Save your children from this life G D Hear these words, this humble plea Am C For I have seen the suffering G D And with this prayer I'm hoping Am C That we can be unbroken Em t's eighteen months now I've been stateside D With this medal on my chest Am But there are things I can't remember C And there are things I won't forget Em I lie awake at night D With dreams the devil shouldn't see Am I want to scream but I can't breathe C And, Christ, I'm sweating through these sheets Am Where's my brothers? Where's my country? C Where's my how-things-used-to-be Припев: G D God of mercy, God of light Am C Save your children from this life G D Hear these words, this humble plea Am C For I have seen the suffering G D And with this prayer I'm hoping Am C That we can be unbroken Em My service dog's done more for me D Than the medication would Am There ain't no angel that's coming to save me C But even if they could Em Today twenty-two will die from suicide D Just like yesterday, they're gone Am I live my life for each tomorrow C So their memories will live on Em Once we were boys and we were strangers D Now we're brothers and we're men Am Someday you'll ask me "Was it worth it C To be of service in the end?" Am Well, the blessing and the curse is C Yeah, I'd do it all again
