G                  C        Em                     G
I planted a garden full of things that turned out rotten
           C                     Em             D
fruits and greens for miles and miles that even insects thought were bad
      G                          C       Em                  G
so I thought I’d sing about it - try and make my friends all like them
      C              Em                 D
maybe everyone would love me more if I sounded really sad

      G                  Am     Em              G
So I shot a man in Afghanistan, he was bleeding on me
         C                 Em          D
then he said his name was Jesus and he never had an army
       G                          Am         Em                  G
as he took his dying breath, the last thing that he thought he’d tell me is
         C             Em               D
“It's better to die for nothing than to kill just for your country”

        C     G           C       G
and my heart wept as the church slept
                   Am*                 C
they were dreaming of parades and politicians
                 Am                                  D                                    G
and a savior who allowed them to rewrite his words until it matched the war inside their hearts

     G                           Am    Em                  G
so I act like I have a right to sing about the things that aren’t right
          C             Em             D
from the comfort of my couch I pretend I’ve done nothing wrong
     G                       Am     Em             G
as I hoard my money closely, bury coins for all my groceries
       C              Em                  D
and I haven’t met my neighbors yet, but I promise I will someday soon
          C                                  G                Em
cause it's only been two years since I moved here inside this neighborhood
 C                               G              Em
how much longer could it be till we are family, we are blood?
   C                                     G                  Em
so I’ll just play my songs and hope that they come swooning to my door
    C                                 Em                  G
the only thing to life worth doing is that one thing that you’re made for
      Am            D         G
well, am I made for myself anymore?

I found out I am nothing at all!
