Verse 1:
       E 
I was born to be of service 
        B5 
Camp lejeune just felt like home 
       F#5 
I had honor I found purpose 
         A5 
Sir yes sir that's what I know 
      E 
They sent us to a place  
         B5 
I never heard of weeks before  
           F#5 
When your nineteen it ain't hard to sleep  
          A5 
In the desert on gods floor 
           F#5 
Close your eyes stop counting sheep  
              A5 
You ain't in boot camp any more

Verse 2:
         E5 
We were taught to shoot our rifles 
         B5 
Men and women side by side 
                 F#5 
Thought we'd be met as liberators  
       A5 
In a thousand year old fight 
            E5 
I got this painful ringing in my ear  
        B5 
From an ied last night 
        F#5 
But no lead lined humvee war machine  
       A5 
Could save my sergeants life 
        F#5 
3 more soldiers 6 civilians 
            A5 
Need these words to come out right 
 
 
 E             B9 
God of mercy, god of light

Save your children from this life 
 E 
Hear these words  
      B9 
This humble plea 
    F#m              A9 
For I have seen the suffering 
     E                    B 
And with this prayer I'm hoping  
      F#m          Am 
That we can be unbroken

It's 18 months now i've been stateside 
           B5 
With this medal on my chest 
                F#5 
But there are things I can't remember 
                A5 
And there are things I won't forget 
 
   E5 
I lie awake at night 
                 B5 
With dreams the devil shouldn't see 
             F#5 
I want to scream but I can't breathe  
                 A5 
And christ I'm sweating through these sheets 
 
             F#5 
Where's my brothers 
 
Where's my country

    C#m 
My service dogs done more for me  
          A9 
Than the medication would 
               E 
There ain't no angel that's coming to save me   
    B 
But even if they could

Today 22 will die from suicide 
           B 
Just like yesterday they're gone

I live my life for each tomorrow  
          A9 
So their memories will live on 
 
              E 
Once we were boys and we were strangers 
            B 
Now we're brothers and we're men 
               F#m 
Someday you'll ask me was it worth it 
          A9 
To be of service in the end
