Dm
Staring at the carnage,
Bb                               C
praying that the sun would never rise
        F      A         Dm
Living another day in disguise
      Bb                C
These feelings can't be right,
             F          A            Dm
lend me your courage to stand up and fight,
Bb   C
on tonight
F A Dm Bb C F A            Dm
    Ooh       Stand up and fight

[Verse 1]
Dm                           Bb Gm
  The fighting rages on and on
                                C F
To challenge me you must be strong
Dm                               Bb Gm
  I walk your land but don't belong
                                 C
Two million soldiers can't be wrong
Dm
  It's no fun but I've been here before
I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war
Bb            F
Not the way I pictured this,
  Am            Bb
I wanted better things
Dm
  Some are scared others killing for fun,
I shot a mother right in front of her son
Bb                F
Take this from my consciousness,
    Am              Bb
and please erase my dreams

[Chorus]
Dm               Bb
Fight for honor, fight for your life
C                F
Pray to God that our side is right
    Gm               Am        Bb
And though we won, I still may lose
  C
Until I make it home to you
  Dm              Bb
I see our mothers filled with tears
     C                F
Grew up so fast where did those years go?
Gm             Am      Bb
Memories won't let you cry
  C                         Dm Bb
Unless I don't return tonight

[Verse 2]
Dm
  So many soldiers on the other side,
I take their lives so they can't take mine
Bb                F             Am             Bb
Scared to make it out alive now murder's all I know
Dm
  Nobody tells me all the reasons we're here
I have my weapons so there's nothing to
Bb            F
Another day, another life,
    Am              Bb
but nothing real to show for

[Chorus]
Dm               Bb
Fight for honor, fight for your life
C                F
Pray to God that our side is right
    Gm               Am        Bb
And though we won, I still may lose
  C
Until I make it home to you
  Dm              Bb
I see our mothers filled with tears
     C                F
Grew up so fast where did those years go?
Gm             Am      Bb
Memories won't let you cry
  C
Unless I don't return tonight

        F      A         Dm
Living another day in disguise
      Bb                C
These feelings can't be right,
             F          A
lend me your courage to stand up and

[Verse 3]
Dm
Watching the death toll rise wondering how I'm alive
           Bb
Stranger's blood on my hands,
shot all I can
Dm
There are no silent nights,
watching your brothers all die
       Bb
To destroy all their plans with no thought of me
Dm C          F A
No thought of me

Dm
Walk the city lonely
Bb                              C
Memories that haunt are passing by
           F          A         Dm
A murderer walks your streets tonight
   Bb             C
Forgive me for my crimes,
F        A          Bb
don't forget that I was so young
Dm                      Db              C       Dm Bb C F A Dm Bb C F A
Fought so scared in the name of God and country.
