G+G         C majorC    E minorEm           G+G
I planted a garden full of things that turned out rotten

      C majorC           E minorEm       D MajorD
fruits and greens for miles and miles that even insects thought were bad

   G+G             C majorC    E minorEm         G+G
so I thought I’d sing about it - try and make my friends all like them

   C majorC       E minorEm         D MajorD
maybe everyone would love me more if I sounded really sad

G+G

   G+G         A minorAm   E minorEm       G+G
So I shot a man in afghanistan, he was bleeding on me

     C majorC         E minorEm     D MajorD
then he said his name was jesus and he never had an army

    G+G             A minorAm     E minorEm         G+G
as he took his dying breath, the last thing that he thought he’d tell me is

     C majorC       E minorEm        D MajorD
“Its better to die for nothing than to kill just for your country”

    C majorC   G+G      C majorC    G+G
and my heart wept as the church slept

          A minorAm         C majorC
they were dreaming of parades and politicians

         A minorAm                        D MajorD         G+G
and a savior who allowed to rewrite his words until it matched the war inside their hearts


   G+G              A minorAm  E minorEm         G+G
so I act like I have a right to sing about the things that aren’t right

     C majorC       E minorEm       D MajorD
from the comfort of my couch I pretend I’ve done nothing wrong

   G+G            A minorAm   E minorEm       G+G
as I hoard my money closely, bury coins for all my groceries

    C majorC       E minorEm         D MajorD
and I haven’t met my neighbors yet, but I promise I will someday soon

     C majorC                 G+G        E minorEm
cause its only been two years since I moved here inside this neighborhood

 C majorC                G+G       E minorEm
how much longer could it be till we are family, we are blood?

  C majorC                   G+G     E minorEm
so I’ll just play my songs and hope that they come swooning to my door

  C majorC                 E minorEm
the only thing to life worth doing is that one thing that you’re made for

   A minorAm      D MajorD     G+G
well, am I made for myself anymore?

 A minorAm       D MajorD
I found out I am nothing at all!
