Bon Jovi - Unbroken Chords

[Intro]
| E    | E

[Verse 1]
       E
I was born to be of service
       B
Camp Lejeune just felt like home
      F#m
I had honor, I found purpose
         A
Sir, yes sir

That's what I know
     E                          B
They sent us to a place I never heard of weeks before
            F#m
When you're nineteen, it ain't hard to sleep
       A
In the desert on God's floor
           F#m
Close your eyes, stop counting sheep
             A
You ain't in bootcamp anymore


[Instrumental 1]
| E    | E    | A    | A  E


[Verse 2]
         E
We were taught to shoot our rifles
        B
Man and woman, side by side
                F#m
Thought we'd be met as liberators
     A
In a thousand year old fight
           E
I got this painful ringing in my ear
        B
From an IED last night
       F#m                                  A
But no lead lined humvee war machine, could save my sergeant's life
           F#m
Three more soldiers, six civilians
           A
Need these words to come out right


[Chorus]
E             B
God of mercy, God of light
F#m                A
Save your children from this life
E                      B
Hear these words, this humble plea
    F#m             A
For I have seen the suffering
    E                    B
And with this prayer I'm hoping
     A               E
That we, can be unbroken


[Instrumental 2]
| E    | E    | A    | A  E


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


[Chorus]
E             B
God of mercy, God of light
F#m                A
Save your children from this life
E                      B
Hear these words, this humble plea
    F#m             A
For I have seen the suffering
    E                    B
And with this prayer I'm hoping
     A               E
That we, can be unbroken


[Bridge]
   C#m
My service dog's done more for me
         A
Than the medication would
               E
There ain't no angel that's coming to save me
    B
But even if they could


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