Chords with lyrics

Intro:
G+G


Verse:
 G+G
I've been home about 6 months now
  E minorEm
And I still have my doubts
  C majorC
I'm not sure how I got here
  D MajorD
Or how I'm gonna get out
  G+G
My mama says I look the same
   E minorEm
as I did before I left
    C majorC
But if she could see inside of me
     D MajorD
It would, scare her to death

Chorus:
   C majorC                D MajorD
I can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun
     C majorC              D MajorD
And I can hear my sergeant screamin' "run soldier run"
   C majorC                 D MajorD
I can feel the backpack on my shoulder, god it weighted a ton.
  E minorEm       D MajorD        C majorC
And I see death in every single thought.
   G+G                 D MajorD
They taught me how to put that uniform on
              G+G
But I just cant get it off.


Verse:
   G+G
Last Saturday they honored us
   E minorEm
In a small parade downtown.
  C majorC
And when they set off those fireworks
 D MajorD
I nearly hit the ground.
   G+G
While they smiled and cheered for us
  E minorEm
All I could do was stare.
   C majorC
Cause half of me is here at home
   D MajorD
And half of me is back there.

Chorus:
   C majorC                D MajorD
I can still taste the powder, from the barrel of my gun
     C majorC              D MajorD
And I can hear my sergeant screamin' "run soldier run"
   C majorC                 D MajorD
I can feel the backpack on my shoulder, god it weighted a ton.
  E minorEm       D MajorD        C majorC
And I see death in every single thought.
   G+G                 D MajorD
They taught me how to put that uniform on
              G+G
But I just cant get it off.
