Hard times comin home now
Cadd9 G
Can't get your feet on the ground
Cadd9 G G/F# Em D
Thoughts and issues and no one wants you around
Cadd9 G Am C/B C
Barely sleepin and you can't get through to the VA on the phone
Cadd9 G G/F# Em D
No one is hiring and no one wants to give you a loan
Cadd9 D G G/F# Em
And everyone else is carryin on just like they've always done before
Cadd9 D Cadd9 D
You've been home for a couple a years now buddy but you're still fightin
G
the war
Flashback to Falluja
Lost another best friend
Three tours of duty and you're wondering when it's all gonna end
Bodies broken and bones shattered
Blood and dust in your mouth
Gettin weary but you're runnin with the few and the proud
Sometimes you wonder why you went, You never wondered what you stayed on for
You've been home for a couple a years now buddy but you're still fightin the war

Cadd9 G
Men go off to war for a hundred reasons
Am C/B C
But they all come home with the same demons
Cadd9 D G G/F# Em
Some you can keep at bay for awhile, some will pin you to the floor
Cadd9 D Cadd9 D
You've been home for a couple of years now buddy but you're still fightin
G
the war
The bedspread is frayin
Faded and tearin apart
Two strangers holdin each other in the dark
Tell me, what were you dreamin? How did you think it would end?
How many heroes are scattered out into the wind?
And all the happily ever afters turn to broken dishes and slammin doors
You've been home for a couple a years now buddy but you're still fightin the war
