Am G D
green For the past six weeks I can tell Where you've been


[Chorus #1]
G D C
For I knew, I could see it was all cut and dried

G Am G
to me There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside

D G D
your veins There is a world outside of this room

C G Am G
And when you meet it promise me that you won't meet

D
It with your gun


G Am
