[G]
Who's gonna care for the ones who care for the ones who went to war?
There's landmines in the living room and eggshells on the floor.
[C] I lost myself in the shadow of your honor and your pain.
You stare [G] out of the window as our dreams go down the drain.
[D] Invisible, the [Dm] war after [G] the war.
[C]
[G] I get no basic training, I get no purple heart.
I'm supposed to carry [C] on, [G] I can't fall apart.
People [C] look at you and thank you for the sacrifice you made.
They [G] look at me and smile and say, I'm lucky you're okay.
[D] Invisible, the war after [G] the war.
I'm [C] a soldier too, just like you.
[G] Serving something bigger than [C] [G] myself.
And I [C] serve unscathed, caught in between
my [G] pain and the pain of someone [D] else.
[G] I'm stronger than you think I am.
I'm right here by your side.
[C]
[G] I am not your enemy.
I don't [C] wanna [G] fight.
[C] There's no going back in time.
I know you're not the same.
[G] But you are not the only one for whom the world has changed.
[D] Invisible,
[G] [D] the war after [G] the war.
