[E]
pull my boots off, throw my [F#m] weapons on [A] the floor, [E] cry my eyes out in [G#m] my private [A] little war.
[E]
Well it seems I've been a soldier, [G#m] heaven knows I've been no saint.
With [E] my camouflage and [A] armor, [F#m] I go down and grease pain.
[E] And to you this has no meaning, and the [F#] armor's still slayed [E] down.
The armor's [G#m] all acquired, [A] [E] and the [F#m] guns don't make a [B] sound.
[E] Well you've knelt for these few [C#m] hours, you've torn down the [Bm] barbed wire, you've plundered
the trenches, [C#m]
you've mounted [E] a ceasefire, and now you're leaving.
There's [C#m] nothing I can do, [Bm]
I won't even know, [A] you're gonna take me [E] with you.

[E]
[F#m] Well, [E] I'm not three on a match, it's [C#m] suicide [G#m] and foxhole [E] of my mind.
[A] The wealth in the distance, [F#m] and the air-raid [E] sirens whine, and they sing your song of rescue.
But my [G#m] tattered worn-out shell, you drag me [A] to your [E] safety.
From this [F#] my frontline hell [F#m] calls you.
[E]
You've knelt for these few [C#m] hours, you've torn down the barbed [Bm] wire, you've plundered the
trenches, [A]
[E] you've mounted a ceasefire, and now you're leaving.
There's [C#m] nothing I can [Bm] do, I won't even know, [A]
you're gonna take me [E] with you.
[C#m]
Blood that [D] was spilling, the heartache [E] before,
[C#m] now runs down the [A] scars.
Without [B] our lives, we're just a bunch of crows.
[Bm]
[E] Till you, you knelt at the steel wall, you tore down the barbed wire, [Bm] you've filled in
the [A] trenches, you've [E] demanded a ceasefire, and now you're [C#m] leaving.
[F#] There's nothing I [Bm] can do, I won't even [A] know, [E] you're gonna take me with you.
