[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D][Bm][G][D]
[Bm][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Septem
ber [G]the [D]2nd, 2017
That's [Bm]your discharge date,
[G]etched in you[D]r soul
It's been nearly [Bm]two years now,
[G]gone by so [D]fast
Like the fast [Bm]food restaurants [G]they built
while you were [D]away[Bm]
Pull into [A]the drive-thru,
[G]speak [D]speak into [Bm]a box
[A]Discard the paper [G]wrappers
when [D]you're [Bm]through
[A]These people can't comprehend
[G]the choices you[D] mad[G]e[D]
So you [G]don't tell [A]them
[D]a thing (tell a damn thing)

[Verse 2]
[G]Whoa, whoa
[D]Unp[G]roud war[D]rior (un[G]proud warrior)
Unproud warrior (unproud warrior)
Unproud warrior (unproud)
You made your house [D]your own

[Verse 3]
Some [Bm]blame their [G]actions
[D]on the government
It's all [Bm]orders for [G]these
lily-white comrades
com[D]rades
They hang up their gun[Bm]s on
[G]a nail of rosewa[D]ter[A][D]
And par[Bm]ticipate [G]in their
grandson's [A]parade[D][Bm]
But you [F#m]know y[A]ou had more c[G]hoices
[D]than they [Bm]let on
A soldier is not a [A]cog, [G]but a man,
like any [D]other[Bm]
These [A]thoughts you revisit every [G]time you turn
on a movie [D](y ou revisit every time)
And see a depic[G]tion that is far from your experi
[D]ence (every time, every time)

[Verse 4]
[D]Whoa, whoa
[G]Unp[D]roud war[G]rio[D]r[G][D]
[G]Unproud warrior (every time)
Unproud warrior (unproud warrior)
You made your choice [D]alone

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][G][D]
[Bm][G][Bm][D]

[Verse 5]
You were only seven[Bm]teen
when you [G]enlisted
[D]You remember
[A]S.E Hinton wrote [Bm]The Outsiders
when she [G]was just [D]fifteen
Mary Shelley wro[Bm]te Frankenstein when
[G]she was [D]just nineteen
And at twenty-three, [Bm]Stephen Stephen Crane
[D]published [G]The Red Badge Of Cou[D]rage[Bm]
Which is [A]still known as one [G]of the most
realistic depictions of [D]war[Bm]
Even though [A]Crane was born af
[G]ter the Civil War [D]ended[Bm]
Maybe [A]sentiments of [D]regret are [G]not
all [D]that unrelatable
You've always taken [G]lengths to
be aware of [D]your own choice

[Verse 6]
[D]Whoa, whoa
[G]Unp[D]roud war[G]rior (un[D]pro[G]ud warrior)
Unproud warrior (unproud warrior)
Unproud warrior (unproud warrior)
You built your house [D]alone (whoa,
unproud war[G]rior)

[Verse 7]
Whoa, whoa [D]Unproud
[G]war[D]rior (un[G]proud warrior)
Unproud warrior (unproud warrior)
Unproud warrior
You made your house [D]your own (you made your
[Bm]house your own)[D][Bm][D]
[Bm]Alone
[D]Alone[A]
