E
The kids in the hundreds tomorrow
                       F#m
Will march through the door
         D                       A
They're fighting someone else's war
              E                 F#m
They'll have so many stories to tell
       D                      A
In exchange for a hero's farewell


I wish I could,
   E                      F#m
I wish I could make you return
      D                    A
And what if I'll never discern
        E                      F#m
As you walk to the toll of the bell
           D                            A
You'll be fighting for our heaven with hell


     E              F#m
And you don't understand
     D
Why no one else can see


       A       E
Your blood on me
         F#m       D
And my blood on you
        A          E
But to make you bleed
                     F#m       D
Is the only thing I wouldn't do


          A
And you know
 E                        F#m
Heroes aren't meant to survive
         D                   A
So much harder to love when alive
 E                           F#m
Walk with the devil in your head
           D                         A
You would think you were better off dead


  E              F#m
And you don't understand
     D
Why no one else can see


       A       E
Your blood on me
         F#m       D
And my blood on you
        A          E
But to make you bleed
                     F#m       D
Is the only thing I wouldn't do


               A E F#m D
Where can you go?
    A
We fight we earn
    E
We never learn
      F#m
And through it all
     D
The hero falls


                    D
I wish there was a way
    A          E      F#m
To give you a hand to hold
 D                 A  E       F#m
You don't have to die in your glory
 D                A
Die to never grow old
