[Em]
My name is Mass [G] Corporal Ryan Adams.
I'm Sergeant Jason Chin-Leung.
Sergeant Charles Brown.
I'm with the Canadian Forces Land Advanced Warfare Center.
I've been in the Canadian Forces for 12 years now.
I served in Somalia and Golan Heights.
Very proud [Cm]
to have served [Gm] for as long as I've had.
I've served two tours [G] of Bosnia and one of Afghanistan.
In 1989 I decided that it was time to serve my country.
I feel that I have made a difference.
It's like your family away from home.
She [Cm] [G]
got the news, the phone hit the [D] floor.
She fell to her [C]
knees and [G] cried his name.
He had just kissed her lips and both of the [D]
kids,
their lives will [C]
never [G] be the same.
The end of [D]
her [G] hardest day.
[Bm]
[G] The only [C]
word she could [D] say.
I [G]

again.

to live.
[G]
[D]
We began [C] operations with very, very good knowledge.
We were the [G] enemy [E] force.
We were driving by.
Takes [Em] all of her [G]
strength to go through his legs.
[D] Feels like she's [C]
old.
[Em]
The letters he [G]
wrote.
Books that he'd read.
[D] And some of [G] the [C]
shirts.
[G] The picture [C]
in his forehead.
Hey Doc, got a [G] little money yet?
Yeah, I'll send you back, George.
Think you can pay them my wife?
[C] [D] Whatever you say, sir.
[G]
I want you to [D]
live.
I want you to [Em]
love.
I want to go [D]
back to the way it [C]
was.
To hear [Em] you say my name again.
I want to see your [D]
smile again.
[G] [C]
[Em] I'm lying awake in the middle of the [D] night.
[G]
Tying up the [C] letters to hear [Em] her cry.
She prays for an answer, some little [D] sign.
[G]
[C] Closes her [G] eyes [Bm] and swears [C] she [D]
isn't.
I got your search.
I [G]
[N] [D]

you to live.
[D] [G] [D]
[C]
What are you writing about anyway, Doc?
I'm just [G] writing a letter home.
You know, one of those, one of [C] those just in case letters.
