[G#] [B] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [C#] I've been home about six months [A#m] now, I [G#] still have my [F#] doubts.
I'm not sure how I got [G#] here, or how I'm gonna get out.
[C#] My mama [Fm] says I look the [A#m] same as I did [C] before [G#] I left.
[F#] But if she [C#] could see inside of [G#] me, it would scare her to death.
[F#] I can still taste [C#] the powder [G#] from the barrel of my gun.
[F#] I can hear my [C#] sergeant scream, [G#] run soldier run.
[F#] I can feel [C#] the backpack on [G#] my shoulders, God it weighed a ton.
[A#m] And I've [G#] seen death in every single [F#] fall.
[C#] They taught [F#m] me how [F#] to put [G#] that uniform on, I just [F#] can't get it off.
[C#] [G#]
[C#] Last Saturday [Fm] they honored [A#m] us in a small parade downtown.
[F#] They [C#] shot off those fireworks, [G#] I nearly hit the ground.
[C#] While they smiled [G#] and cheered for [A#m] us, all I could do was stare.
[F#] Just part [C#] of me is here at [G#] home, but part of me is back there.
[F#] I can still taste the powder [G#] from the barrel of my gun.
[F#] I can hear my sergeant scream, [G#] run soldier run.
[F#] I can feel the backpack on my [G#] shoulders, God it weighed a ton.
[A#m] And I've [G#] seen death in every [F#] single fall.
They [C#] taught me how to put that uniform [G#]
on, I just [A#m] can't get it off.
[G#] [F#] God there's [C#] no end [G#] in sight, [A#m] cause even [G#] though I'm home [F#] now,
I'm still fighting for my life.
