[Db] [Dbm] [Ab]
[Db] [Dbm] [Ab] I could tell he'd had a tough block [Ebm] by the way he sat and stared
[Db] And me, I'd come to push and shove, [Ab] so I pulled up a chair
We talked of roads untraveled, [Ebm] we talked of love untrue
[Db] Of strings that come unraveled, [Ab] we were kings and kindred fools
[Bbm] Just when I'd hit bottom, [Eb] that old man raised his glass
[Bbm] Said, at least we've had our chances, [Eb] there's those who've never held
[Db] So here's to all [Eb] the soldiers [Ab] who have ever died [Fm] in vain
The [Bbm] insane locked [Eb] up in themselves, [Ab] the homeless down on Maine
[Db] Those who stand [Eb] on empty shores, [Cm] spit against [Db] the wind
Those who wait forever for ships that don't [Ab] come in
He [Dbm] [Ab] said it's only lies, illusions that bring us to this bar
To [Db] pick up these old crutches [Ab] and compare each other's scars
Cause the things we're calling heartaches, [Ebm] they're hardly worth our time
[Db] We bitch about a dollar [Ab] when there's those without a dime
[Bbm] As he ordered one last round, he said, [Eb] I guess we can't complain
[Bbm] God made life a gamble, [Eb] we're still in the game
[Db] So here's to [Eb] all the soldiers [Ab] who have ever died [Fm] in vain
[Bbm] The insane locked [Eb] up in themselves, [Ab] the homeless down on Maine
[Db] Those who stand [Eb] on empty [Cm] shores, spit [Db] against the wind
And those who wait forever for ships that [Ab] don't come in
And those who [Db] wait forever for ships that [Ab] don't come [Eb] in
