Am             F          C      E       Am
On the porch we sit like lepers who forgot about the pain,
F           C        E
we count the drops of rain.
Am                    F                      G
Like veterans gone insane, the war was just a game,
                    C           E                   Am
the man took back our guns, the word safe won’t ever mean the same

                       F               C    E          Am
things used to seem a million times better than they were.
                   F     C     E         Am               F
The damage we incurred, never used to hurt, back when we had words,
G                            C            E          C
and it’s absurd, I mean the way that the tables turned.

C                      F
You gonna see me around, alright.
C                      F
Tell the baby that he could’ve been mine.
C                                F

C                      F                     E               Am
but it wouldn’t be mine and it wouldn’t be you and that wouldn’t be right.
