  Hard times comin home now 
Cadd9                           G
Can't get your feet on the ground 
Cadd9                   G       G/F#       Em    D
Thoughts and issues and no one wants you around 
Cadd9                   G                       Am   C/B         C
Barely sleepin and you can't get through to the   VA    on the phone 
Cadd9                 G              G/F#       Em    D
No one is hiring and no one wants to give you a loan 
    Cadd9            D               G               G/F#       Em

Cadd9                          G                             Em   D
Three tours of duty and you're wondering when it's all gonna end 
Cadd9             G              Am
Bodies broken and bones shattered 
Am                     C
Blood and dust in your mouth 
Cadd9                   G                           Em     D
Gettin weary but you're runnin with the few and the proud 
Cadd9                D                       G                            Em
Sometimes you wonder why you went, You never wondered what you stayed on for
           Cadd9                 D                        Cadd9   D            G

Men go off to war for a hundred reasons
         Am                    C/B     C
But they all come home with the same demons 
Cadd9                 D                G              G/F#    Em
Some you can keep at bay for awhile, some will pin you to the floor

 The bedspread is frayin
Cadd9            G
Faded and tearin apart 
Cadd9         G                        Em    D
Two strangers holdin each other in the dark 
Cadd9                  G        Am                         C
Tell me, what were you dreamin? How did you think it would end?
Cadd9               G                      Em    D
How many heroes are scattered out into the wind?
            Cadd9        D                     G                    Em
And all the happily ever afters turn to broken dishes and slammin doors
            Cadd9                D                         Cadd9  D            G
