It's sort of a bluesy twist
on "3 AM."
MI (464444)
I pull my boots off,
LAsus2 (242222)
Throw my weapon on the floor
MI (464444)
I cry my eyes out
LAsus2 (242222)
In my private little war
MI
Well it seems I've been a soldier
(464444)
Heaven knows I've been no saint
LAsus2
With my camouflage and armor
(242222)
Cold heart and grease paint
MI
To you this has no meaning
(464444)
The armistice laid down
LAsus2
The armies all are quiet
(242222)
And the guns don't make a sound, 'cause you..
CHORUS
MI DO#m7
You melted the steel walls, tore down the bobwire
SIm7 LAsus2 (002100)
filled in the trenches, demanded a ceasefire
MI DO#m7
And now you're leavin', there's nothin' I can do
SIm7 LAsus2 (002100)
I want you to know, you're gonna take me with you
2nd Verse
Well now feel the match on suicide in the foxhole of my mind
and way off in the distance, the air raid sirens whine
and they sing your song of rescue, to my tattered worn out shell
you drag me to your safety, from this my front line hill
CHORUS
(bridge)
DO#m RE MI
The blood that was spilled in the heartache before
DO#m LAsus2 SI MI
Left on massive scars, that I never, never could ignore to you
CHORUS(acoustic only)
Fade off playing chorus part--sing "Doot dooo doot dooo doot"
