              (verse 1) 
Am 
The fighting's over now 
Fmaj7 
There's nowhere left to run 
G 
My ammunition's out 
    Em7                 C 
I'd better put down my gun 
Fmaj7 
And as I face this life of fear 
    Dm7 
I'd better keep my conscience clear 
   Em7             Cmaj7 
Inside my mind I'm out of it 
      Fmaj7              G 
And I ain't never coming back 
 
(Chorus) 
C             G               Am 
So don't come running here to find me 
C              F      Am   G         C 
'Cause I'm a military man (military man) 
         G                  Am 
And as I spin this wheel of fortune 
C       F      Am 
In my military world 
        A#maj7 Am 
I'm a military man 
 
(verse 2) 
Am 
The architects of time 
Fmaj7 
Are calling me 
G 
But I don't believe it, necessarily 
Fmaj7 
And as I face this life of fear 
Dm7 
Break the chains that bind me here 
  Em7              C 
Inside my mind I'm out of it 
                    Fmaj7  G 
But I'm still never coming back 
 
(Chorus) 
C             G               Am 
So don't come running here to find me 
C              F      Am   G         C 
'Cause I'm a military man (military man) 
         G                  Am 
And as I spin this wheel of fortune 
C       F      Am 
In my military world 
        A#maj7 Am 
I'm a military man 
 
(Refrain) 
Am7 
I'm a military man 
G      Am           G   Am7 
Such a military man yes I am
