[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][Em][C][G]
[Bm][Em][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Not [G]Knowing what he had got into,
[Bm]only following the sheep
[Em]The message sent for his deployment
at only [C]twenty- [G]three
Promised to be there for a short time
His [Bm]mother looks at photos
[Em]Passed down from a family tradition;
Her head [C]lies on her [D]lap...

[Verse 2]
[D]I'll never [Em]be sure exactly
what it [C]means
To serve and [G]protect us from
[D]"enemies"[F#m]
They make sure [Em]we're scared
To justify this [C]ugly, bloody mess
It's less than [G]your pride,
it's suicide at be[F#m]st
[G]

[Verse 3]
The waiting fills her with delusion [Bm]and
memories gone [Em]by
"How could I give life to my baby
and then [C]let him go [G]die?"
But with this joke administration
[Bm]where no one is [Em]exempt
It's not your fault and never will be.
Don't hold [C]love in con[D]tempt...

[Verse 4]
[D]I feel like I'm l[Em]ost,
drowning out at [C]sea
Surrounded [G]by space with no
regard for sym[D]pathy[F#m]
She sees the [Em]parade of victory
and war [C]that wasn't won
"I'm not com[G]ing home."
"He's my only son."
[F#m]

[Verse 5]
If [D]an [C]an gel earns its [D]wings [Em]every
time somebody [C]dies
Then today's the angels [D]black out the
blue [G]sky

[Outro 1]
