D# I was born to be of service A# Camp Lejeune just felt like home Fm I had honor, I found purpose G# Sir, yes sir That's what I know D# A# They sent us to a place I never heard of weeks before Fm When you're nineteen, it ain't hard to sleep G# In the desert on God's floor Fm Close your eyes, stop counting sheep G# You ain't in bootcamp anymore We were taught to shoot our rifles Men and women side by side Thought we'd be met as liberators In a thousand-year-old fight I got this painful ringing in my ear From an IED last night But no lead-lined Humvee war machine Could save my sergeant's life Three more soldiers, six civilians Need these words to come out right Chorus: D# A# God of mercy, God of light Fm G# Save your children from this life D# A# Hear these words, this humble plea Fm G# For I have seen the suffering D# A# And with this prayer I'm hopin' Fm G# That we, can be unbroken It's eighteen months now, I’ve been stateside With this medal on my chest But there are things I can't remember And there are things I won't forget I lie awake at night With dreams the Devil shouldn't see I wanna scream, but I can't breathe And Christ, I'm sweatin' through these sheets Where's my brothers? Where's my country? Where's my "how things used to be"? Chorus Bm My service dog's done more for me G# Than the medication would D# There ain't no angel that's coming to save me A# But even if they could D# Today, 22 will die from suicide A# Just like yesterday, they're gone Fm I live my life for each tomorrow G# So their memories will live on D# Once we were boys, and we were strangers A# Now we're brothers and we're men Fm Someday you'll ask me, G# was it worth it to be of service in the end? Fm Well, the blessing, and the curse is, G# yeah, I'd do it all again D# A# Whoa-oh G# Whoa-oh D# A# Whoa-oh G# Whoa-oh D# A# Whoa-oh G# Whoa-oh, unbroken You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA# D D# Fm G# Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
