[G]
Sarah waits [D] for [G] her soldier back, she prays each day for his safe return, [C] and she's sick to her heart with [G] sweet love for him.
And she can't understand his crazy words, the pain, the madness the human cause, on [C] blankets of lies they [G] crucify the life.
[D] Every day on blankets [C] of lies they [G] crucify the life.
Lay down [C] young Jimmy and [G] don't you fall asleep, there's a guy out there wants [C] to fight you [G] for what his father believes.
[D] Don't take that third [C] life Jimmy, [G] or you're mad.
No, no, [D] don't take that third [C] life Jimmy boy, [G] or you're mad.
Sarah cries for her soldier back, she will love him forever till the day she dies, [C] just a backstreet boy beneath the [G] desert sky.
[D] He's cold and alone [C] in the dark [G] fading light, [D] and he's thinking of Sarah, [C] the sweet [G] love of his life.
