A                           E
The kids in the hundreds tomorrow
                       F#m
Will march through the door
         D                       A
They're fighting someone else's war
              E                 F#m
They'll have so many stories to tell
       D                      A
In exchange for a hero's farewell

I wish I could
I wish I could make you return
And what if I’ll never discern?
As you walk to the toll of the bell
You’ll be fighting for our heaven with hell

     E              F#m
And you don't understand
     D
Why no one else can see

Chorus:
       A       E
Your blood on me
         F#m     D
And my blood on you
        A         E
But to make you bleed
                    F#m       D
Is the only thing I wouldn't do

And you know, heroes aren't meant to survive
So much harder to love when alive
Broke, with the devil in your head
You would think you were better off dead

And you don’t understand
Why no one else can see

Chorus

               A E F#m D
Where can you go?
    A
We fight we earn
    E
We never learn
      F#m
And through it all
     D
The hero falls

I wish there was a way
To give you a hand to hold
'Cause you don't have to die in your glory
Die, to never grow old

Chorus:
It's your blood on me
And my blood on you
Butt to make you bleed
The only thing I wouldn't do
It's your blood on me
And my blood on you
But to make you bleed
The only thing I wouldn't do

Where can you go? (Fighting, fighting, fighting)
Where can you go? (Fighting, fighting, fighting)
We fight, we yearn
We never learn
And through it all
The hero falls
