_ 19, _ [C#m] the number on his [A] back for the captain of his [E] high school football team.
[C#m] He took us all the way [A] to state, got a scholarship [E] to play down in Tennessee.
_ _ [C#m] He could catch, he could throw, [A] he could [E] run, he could go [B] like he never seen.
_ [E] 19, _ _ [C#m] but on the day [A] those twin towers came down, his whole [E] world turned around.
_ [C#m] And he told them [A] all, I can't play [E] ball, there's a war on now.
_ [C#m] He marched right [A] in with a few good [E] men [B] and joined the Marines at [E] 19. _ _
[A] Now he's the boy next [E] door,
[B] that used to carry your [E] bags at the grocery [A] store.
He's [E] somebody's son in a hole with a gun in [B] a foreign land,
[Cm] trying to [C#m] hold on to his American [E] [A] dreams.
_ _ [E] _
19, _ [C#m] there's a snapper [A] out there in the dark [E] somewhere and a soldier's down.
_ [C#m] And we need someone [A] who can duck and run [E] and get him out somehow.
[C#m] I wanna one good [A] man raise his [B] hand and take one for the team.
How about [E] you, 19? _

_ _ [C#m] they brought him home [A] today with a big parade [E] down on Main Street.
_ [C#m] He got a purple [A] heart and a [E] silver star, a soldier gave a speech.
_ [C#m] He could catch, he could [A] throw, he could run, he's [B] the one that rescued me.
