[Verse 1]
[Em]Dad,
what did you do in [C]the war?
Something to an[Em]swer for?
You say too young I [D]am to know

[Verse 2]
[Em]Dad, I've heard you cry at [C]night
Mournful and desper[Em]ate blight
Where did you learn that [D]song you sing?

[Verse 3]
[Am]"War is in me! [C]I was the war!"
"And your [Em]praying brings
back [D]the suffering"
"No, [Am]please, don't [Em]start [G]to cry[C]"
[Am]"I only pray y[C]ou'll never know"
"The things I [Em]see every time
[D]I close my eyes"
[Am]"Angels [G]still [Bm]have [G]fac[C]es"[D]

[Verse 4]
[Em]What did you do in the war, dad? Tell me
[C]Why can't you smile when
the [G]children [D]sing?
Did the [Em]wages of [C]war cut
your [G]soaring [D]wings?

[Verse 5]
And your [Am]soul is now [Em]torn,
[G]un [Em]like [G]mine[C]
[Em]Do you f[Am]ear yesterda[G]y
will in [C]some way
[D]Define the life of [E]your child?

[Verse 6]
Dad, I know what you did in the [C]war
Deeds devils would [Em]ab hor
Did you fulfill the [D]oath you [Bm]swore?

[Verse 7]
[Em]Dad, did you do it for [C]me?
[D]Their blood [C]for my life to [Em]live
In the hollow [D]without reprieve,

[Verse 8]
without you
[D]"War [Am]is in me! I[C] am the war!"
"Don't you for[Em]ce me to live
[D]the nightmare again!"
[Am](I'm sorry...)
"Please don't [G]make me [C]cry"
"My son, [Am]you never ever
[C]want to know"
"How [Em]when guarding your sleep
[D]serene I hear"
[Am]"The silence [B]of [G]the chi[C]ldren who sang"

[Verse 9]
[Em]Far and [B]beyond the s[C]tars there's
A [G]place where all the [Am]love
All the [B]goodness we could [C]have still [D]resides
But we [Em]choose life away
[B]from the lig[C]ht[G]
You can [Am]find ghosts of [B]loss in
the [C]gaze of your [D]beautiful child
