Introduction:

             Gm  Cm  
Gm                         Cm                    Gm  
We laid our names to rest
                                                D#                              Cm  
Along the dotted line.
Gm  
We left our date of birth
                                          Cm  
And our history behind.
Cm                                    D#  
We were full of life,
                                          F                 Gm  
We could barely hold it in.
                                          F  
We were amateurs at war,
                                          Cm  
Strangers to suffering.
                                Gm                 D#  
We made our families proud
                                                                Gm  
But scared at the same time.
                                                     F  
We promised weâ??d be safe,
                                                                Cm  
Another lie from the front lines.
          D#  
Our backs against the wall,
                                             Gm  
Weâ??re surrounded and afraid.
                                                                F  
Our lives now in the hands
                                          Cm  
Of the soldiers taking aim.
             D#  
Our questions ricochet
                                                                F  
How our bodies, born to heal,
                                                     Gm  
Become so prone to die?
Cm  
Gm  
Though time is ruthless,
                                                                                Cm  
It showed us kindness in the end,
(By slowing down enough,)
             Cm                              D#  
"lay your weapons down!
                                          Gm  
Theyâ??re calling off the war
                                                                F  
On account of losing track
                                                                Cm  
Of what weâ??re fighting for."
                                                                        D#  
So we found our way back home,
                                                     Cm         Gm  
Let our cuts and bruises heal.
                                                                F  
While a brand-new war began,
                                                                          Cm  
One that no one else could feel.
                                                                        D#  
Our nights have grown so long.
                                                          Gm  
Now we beg for sound advice.
                                                                F  
"let the brokenness be felt
                                                                     Cm  
'til you reach the other side.
                             D#  
There is goodness in the heart
                             Gm  
Of every broken man
                                                                                     F  
Who comes right up to the edge
                                                                Cm  
Of losing everything he has."
                     Gm                              D#  
(Losing everything he has)
                                     Gm  
(Losing everything he has)
                                                                F  
We were young enough to sign
                                                        D#  
Along the dotted line.
(To build a better life)
                                                     Gm  
(To build a better life)
                                                                F  
Now weâ??re young enough to try
                                                  Gm  
To build a better life.
Cm                                            Gm  
To build a better life.
