Garden

G                  C        Em  
I planted a garden full of 
                   G
things that turned out rotten
           C                   
fruits and greens for miles and 
  Em             D
miles that even insects thought were
 bad
      G                          C
so I thought I’d sing about it - 
       Em                  G
try and make my friends all like 
them
      C              Em           
maybe everyone would love me more 
      D
if I sounded really sad

      G                  Am     
So I shot a man in Afghanistan, 
Em              G
he was bleeding on me
         C                 Em     
then he said his name was Jesus 
     D
and he never had an army
       G                        
as he took his dying breath, the 
  Am         Em                  
last thing that he thought he’d tell
G
 me is

“It's better to die for nothing 
      D
than to kill just for your country”

        C     G           C  
and my heart wept as the church 
     G
slept
                   Am*           
they were dreaming of parades and 
      C
politicians
                 Am             
and a savior who allowed them to 
                     D             
rewrite his words until it matched 
                       G
the war inside their hearts

     G                           
so I act like I have a right to 
Am    Em                  G
sing about the things that aren’t 
right
          C             Em   
from the comfort of my couch I 
          D
pretend I’ve done nothing wrong
     G                       Am   
as I hoard my money closely, bury 
  Em             G
coins for all my groceries
       C              Em          
and I haven’t met my neighbors 
        D
yet, but I promise I will someday 
soon
          C                        
cause it's only been two years 
          G                Em
since I moved here inside this 
neighborhood
 C                               G
how much longer could it be till 
              Em
we are family, we are blood?
   C                               
so I’ll just play my songs and hope
      G                  Em
 that they come swooning to my door
    C                              
the only thing to life worth doing 
   Em                  G
is that one thing that you’re made 
for
      Am            D         G
well, am I made for myself anymore?

  Am             D
I found out I am nothing at all!
