Crazy Being Home

[Verse]
   D                               
He almost forgot how to drive over 
               A
here, while he tried to survive a 
year over there
Bm                                
Some young punk just flipped him 
       G
off and run him off of the road
D                                  
He just turned 22 last week in the 
A
back of a Stryker somewhere in 
Tecreat
   Bm                           
He never thought he'd live to be 
      G
this old
                       D G
It's crazy being home, it's crazy 
being home
   D                               
He stepped off a plane, feels like 
                     A
yesterday, they were waving flags 
and signs with his name
     Bm                            
They said they were proud for what 
              G
he'd done, if they only knew what he
 had become

    D                           
The girl he loved, she swore she 
                 A
would wait, but he came home to a 
cold empty place.
      Bm                           
Had a burger today, got a new cell 
G                            D
phone, it's crazy being home

[Chorus]
G                              Bm
The stars don't look the same, he 
still answers to his name
D                             A
It's ok, something just ain't right
    G                              
You try to fight for what you love,
     Bm
 but his young eyes have seen too 
much
         F#m                       
Till you been where he's been, you 
         A
wouldn't understand
           G
I hope you never have to, my friend

[Verse]
D                                 
He got to call us back on a plane,
    A
 to where he belongs, it might sound
 insane
        Bm                      
But his brothers are there, they 
                     G
can't fight this a- lone
        D                          
So they dropped him right there in 
                        A
the blood red sand, his best friends
 is locked and loaded in his hands
        Bm                         
And the sergeant yells, "Boys, it's
         G
 time to go," and he thought, "It's 
crazy being home"
