Tom: Dm
Dm *
He woke up
F *
Shrapnel scars across the top of his head
C *
His children at the edge of his bed
Em *
Not sure if this really happened
[VERSE 2]
Dm *
He sits up
F *
Just standing but he falls to the floor
C *
Pleading that he's still fit for war
Em *
He's cursing at his purple heart
[VERSE 3]
Dm
Suit and Tie
F
Sits and waits and stares at the clock
C
Wondering about what time he got up
Em
Struggling with his lungs filled with tar
[VERSE 4]
Dm
Interview
F
Says "it seems to me you're unfit"
C
Doesn't match the job description
Em
Cause no ones cares he's a veteran
[CHORUS]
Dm
As he looks for savior
F
In the back of the paper
C
He thinks he's willing and able
Em
Why can't I be like the rest
Dm
Nobody seems to draw nearer
F
This questions never looked clearer
C
Life starts to feel like a mirror
Em
His bottle clung to his chest
[VERSE 5]
Dm
No more use
F
Resorting to a life of abuse
C
This love affair has tied up his noose
Em
He didn't get the option to choose
[VERSE 6]
Dm
Oh god why me
F
I thought this was the land of the free
C
A life of fame without pedigree
Em
Cause freedom costs unfortunately
[VERSE 7]
Dm *
Oh god you're not waking up
F *
Please wake up
C *
Oh my love
Em *
Wake up
[VERSE 8]
Dm
Oh god you're not waking up
F
Please wake up
C
Oh my love
Em
Wake up
