[Verse 1]
E
War ripped my baby from my breast
A
Now my name and rank cover my chest
E
Twenty-three hours I flew and wept
A
Twenty-three hours I never slept
E
Wiped my face, changed my soaking bra
A
Told my body not to feel at all
E
Tried to be like you, what must I do
B E
To prove that I'm a brother too?
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
E
I thought RPGs were fireworks
A
That's how green I was at first
E
Blood blistered feet, black and blue
A
I slid inside my blood filled boots
E
Seventy-pound pack plus you on my back
A
Spilled my blood on the road, man, I carried my load
E
Kept you in my view, I'd die for you
B E
Don't that make me a brother too?
[Bridge]
C#m
It's okay to cry, that's what you say
A
But if I do I'm damned anyway
E
I learned to cry without a sound
B
'Cause I'm afraid you'll put me down
[Verse 3]
N.C. E
You broke my heart on Veterans Day
A
Don't you understand the words you say
E
You raised a flag for the men you serve
A
What about the women, what do we deserve?
E
I was just like you when the bullets flew
A
I had your back, you had mine too
E
Brothers in arms, your sisters covered you
B E
Don't that make us your brother too?
[Outro]
E
Say it for me, say it for you
B E
Your sisters are your brothers too
