[Intro]

[Verse 1]
       D
I was born to be of service
        A
Camp Lejeune just felt like home
       Em
I had honor, I found purpose
           G
Sir, yes, sir
G
That's what I know
      D                          A
They sent us to a place I never heard of weeks before
             Em
When you're nineteen, it ain't hard to sleep
        G
In the desert on God's floor
             Em
Close your eyes, stop counting sheep
               G
You hear them bootcamp anymore

[Verse 2]
         D
We were taught to shoot our rifles
        A
Then in one, then side by side
                 Em
Thought we'd be made as liberators
       G
In a thousand year old fight
            D
I got this painful ringing in my ear
        A
From an IED last night
        Em                                   G
But no lead light humvee war machine, could save my sargeants life
            Em
Three more soldiers, six civilians
            G
Need these words to come out right


[Chorus]
 D             A
God of mercy, God of light
 Em                  G
Seek your children from this life
 D                      A
Here these words, this humble plea
    Em               G
For I have seen the suffering
     D                    A
And with this prayer I'm hoping
     Em             G
That we, can be unbroken


[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
         D
It's 18 months now, I've been stateside
           A
With this medal on my chest
                Em
But there are things I can't remember
                G
And there are things I won't forget
   D                                 A
I lie awake at night with dreams of devils shouldn 't see
           Em
I wanna scream, but I can't breathe
                   G
And Christ, I am sweating through these sheets
             Em
Where's my brothers? Where's my country?
            G
Where's my how things used to be?


[Chorus]
 D             A
God of mercy, God of light
 Em                  G
Seek your children from this life
 D                      A
Here these words, this humble plea
    Em               G
For I have seen the suffering
     D                    A
And with this prayer I'm hoping
     Em             D
That we, can be unbroken


[Bridge]
    Bm
My service dogs done more for me
          G
Then the medication would
               D
There ain't no angel that is coming to save me
    A
But even if they could


[Verse 4]
   D
Today, 22, would die from suicide
           A
Just like yesterday, they're gone
           Em
I live my life for each tomorrow
              G
So their memories will live on
              D
Once we were boys, and we were strangers
            A
Now we're brothers and we're men
                Em                                   G
Someday you 'll ask me, was it worth it to be of service in the end?
            Em                                 G
Well, the blessing, and the curses, yeah, I'd do it all again


[Outro]
|D  A |G |

     D   A
Whoa-oh
     G
Whoa-oh
     D   A
Whoa-oh
     G
Whoa-oh
     D   A
Whoa-oh
     G
Whoa-oh (Whoa)
