Bbm                  Gb
No one's born to be a warrior
       Gb                  Ab
No one born an average man
        Bbm              Gb
We made one or the other
       Gb
And we try to understand
Gb          Ab
Try to understand


[Verse 1]
Bbm                    Gb
  He will long for the feeling
         Gb                                        Ab
Standing strong with his brothers before the enemy
Bbm                            Gb
  He will miss the quiet pride
       Gb                                    Ab
Of his men at his side as he leads them into victory


[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm                              Gb
He can wash the war paint off his face
    Gb                            Ab
And learn to love a bitter broken place
    Bbm                           Gb
But nothing quite compares to the taste
         Gb                  Ab
He can't replace it, no, no, no


[Chorus]
         Bbm                  Gb
No one's born to be a warrior
       Gb                  Ab
No one born an average man
        Bbm              Gb
We made one or the other
       Gb
And we try to understand
Gb          Ab
Try to understand


[Post-Chorus]
Bbm                       Gb
Warrior, warrior, warrior
Gb                        Ab
Warrior, warrior, warrior


[Verse 2]
Bbm                                     Gb
  The pain takes a backseat for a cause
     Gb                      Ab
No applause from his country
Bbm                            Gb
  No service leaves him lesser when he loses his suppressor
        Gb                      Ab
And the pain that comes is deafening


[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm                              Gb
He can wash the war paint off his face
    Gb                            Ab
And learn to love a bitter broken place


[Chorus]
         Bbm                 Gb
No one's born to be a warrior
       Gb                  Ab
No one born an average man
        Bb               Gb
We made one or the other
       Gb
And we try to understand
Gb          Ab
Try to understand


[Post-Chorus]
Bbm                       Gb
Warrior, warrior, warrior
Gb                        Ab
Warrior, warrior, warrior
Bbm                       Gb
Warrior, warrior, warrior
Gb                        Ab
Warrior, warrior, warrior


[Bridge]
       Bbm
We are born in hospitals in different states
   Bbm
To moms and dads who work and pray
     Bbm
That we'll be saved, amazing grace
    Bbm
The chosen few get shipped away
    Bbm
For one more mile and one more day
       Bbm
And to harvest souls and bear the weight
    Bbm
And reap the tax that must be paid
Bbm
Warrior, warrior, warrior


[Chorus]
         Bbm                  Gb
No one's born to be a warrior
       Gb                  Ab
No one born an average man
        Bbm              Gb
We made one or the other
       Gb
And we try to understand
Gb          Ab
Try to understand


[Post-Chorus]
Bbm                       Gb
Warrior, warrior, warrior
Gb                        Ab
Warrior, warrior, warrior
Bbm                       Gb
Warrior, warrior, warrior
Gb                        Ab
Warrior, warrior, warrior
