so the air's gettin' colder
Fmaj7AmG
the news keeps us scared
CCmaj7
I still wrestle this summer
Fmaj7AmG
from the bones of our tired, blistered hands
FAm7G
cause tonight we got drinks, just a couple a friends
FAm7G
and the girl that my brother likes, is finally talkin' to him
FAm7G
and his chest is all swelled, like he's proud and happy
FG
he's got a great idea, like he's makin' a memory
CAmG
wake up, and come out to the car
CAmG
there's an east swell coming, and it's howlin' off shore,
F
and we'll be,
FAmG
Lyin' like lions, out in the sandddddddd
F Am G slide to C, and start intro.
but I'll be dead before you put a gun in my brother's hand
Intro once, or twice.

so we make jokes back home, and we lighten the mood,
CCmaj7Fmaj7AmG
but growing up, my parents saw, sending the kids, and fight is what we really do,
FAm7G
and now with the war, I can tell they're a little shook up,
FAm7G
it's just a few mother's sons, never really be enough,
FAm7G
and half of our names, are etched out in the wall,
FG
the other half ruined, from the things we saw
