Dm



🎸 Verse 1:
Dm           F
Woke up screaming in bed
Gm          Bb     A
The silence taunts me
Dm            F
It's like I'm there again
Gm                 Bb       A
But this nightmare calms me down
Dm       F
The fire licks my skin
Gm        Bb   A
I feel it burn away
Dm             F
Bullets stream overhead
Gm             Bb   A
My heart beats deafening
Bb                   A
I've never been so afraid

🎸 Chorus:
            Dm
But we were men
   Em              Bb
We walk the front lines
      Dm      Em      C        Bb
We defend our country with our lives
   C  Dm          C                  Bb
We pretend to see truth in all these lies

I close my eyes to hide their faces haunt me
Dm          F
My faith is hard to find
Gm           Bb    A   Dm
Your picture calms me down
             F
I can't cope with the pain
Gm
These pills don't work
Bb                 A
They just leave me the same
Dm        F
I feel so weak today
Gm
You made me strong
   Bb          A        Bb
So why did you take it away?
Bb                       A
I'm trapped inside the afraid
