Guitar chords with lyrics
Intro:
G Bm A
Verse 1:
Bm
We were here blowin' out birthday cakes
A
Ridin' our bikes, jumpin' in lakes
Em
Feelin' butterflies on our first dates
D A
And stealin' our old man's beer
Bm
We were here back home in the home of the brave
A
But the brave ain't home, they're an ocean away
Em
Doin' their job and keepin' us safe
D
While we were here
Chorus:
G
They were there, fightin' back on the front lines
Bm
Strappin' up their boots before the sunrise
A
Keepin' their mamas up all night in fear
G
They were there in the name of a hometown
Bm
Of a last name that was passed down
A
Every day, every night, every moment we were here
G Bm
They were there
A
They were there
Verse 2:
Bm
We were here sayin' the Pledge of Allegiance
A
Repeatin' those words, not knowin' their meanin'
Em
Takin' for granted all our freedoms
D A
In the land of the free
Bm
We were here bitchin' 'bout minimum wage
A
Splittin' ourselves into red and blue states
Em
And still sat down, hot food on the plate
D
Yeah, while we were here
Chorus:
G
They were there, fightin' back on the front lines

Strappin' up their boots before the sunrise

Keepin' their mamas up all night in fear

Every day, every night, every moment we were here

They were there

Some came home in a pinewood box

With those stars and stripes on top
