[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
