Mars - Sleeping At Last

🎸 Verse 1: Em We laid our names to rest C Along the dotted line Em We left our date of birth Am And our history behind 🎸 Verse 2: Am C We were full of life C Em We could barely hold it in Em Dm We were amateurs at war Dm Am Strangers to suffering Am C We made our families proud C Em But scared at the same time Em Dm We promised we'd be safe Dm Am Another lie from the front lines

🎸 Verse 3: Am Our backs against the wall C Em We’re surrounded and afraid Em Dm Our lives now in the hands Dm Am Of the soldiers taking aim Am C Our questions ricochet C Em Like broken satellites Em Dm How our bodies, born to heal Dm Em Become so prone to die? Em (4x) 🎸 Bridge: Em Though time is ruthless C It showed us kindness in the end C (By slowing down enough) C Em (A second chance to make amends) Em As life replayed Am We heard a voice proclaim 🎸 Verse 4: Am C "Lay your weapons down! C Em They’re calling off the war Em Dm On account of losing track Dm Am Of what we’re fighting for" Am C So we found our way back home C Em Let our cuts and bruises heal Em Dm While a brand-new war began Dm Am One that no one else could feel 🎸 Verse 5: Am C Our nights have grown so long C Em Now we beg for sound advice Em Dm "Let the brokenness be felt Dm Am 'Til you reach the other side Am C There is goodness in the heart C Em Of every broken man Em Dm Who comes right up to the edge Dm Am Of losing everything he has" Am C (Losing everything he has) C Em (Losing everything he has) Em Dm We were young enough to sign Dm Am Along the dotted line Am C (To build a better life) C Em (To build a better life) Em Dm Now we're young enough to try Em To build a better life Em To build a better life
