  Hard times comin home now  
Cadd9                           G 
Can't get your feet on the ground  
Cadd9                   G       G/F#       Em    D 
Thoughts and issues and no one wants you around  
Cadd9                   G                       Am   C/B         C 
Barely sleepin and you can't get through to the   VA    on the phone  
Cadd9                 G              G/F#       Em    D 
No one is hiring and no one wants to give you a loan  
    Cadd9            D               G               G/F#       Em           
And everyone else is carryin on just like they've always done before  
          Cadd9                  D                        Cadd9   D       
You've been home for a couple a years now buddy but you're still fightin  
     G 
the war  

Flashback to Falluja  
Lost another best friend  
Three tours of duty and you're wondering when it's all gonna end  
Bodies broken and bones shattered  
Blood and dust in your mouth  
Gettin weary but you're runnin with the few and the proud  
Sometimes you wonder why you went, You never wondered what you stayed on for 
You've been home for a couple a years now buddy but you're still fightin the war

Men go off to war for a hundred reasons 
         Am                    C/B     C 
But they all come home with the same demons  
Cadd9                 D                G              G/F#    Em 
Some you can keep at bay for awhile, some will pin you to the floor

You've been home for a couple of years now buddy but you're still fightin  
     G 
the war  

The bedspread is frayin 
Faded and tearin apart  
Two strangers holdin each other in the dark  
Tell me, what were you dreamin? How did you think it would end? 
How many heroes are scattered out into the wind? 
And all the happily ever afters turn to broken dishes and slammin doors 
You've  been home for a couple a years now buddy but you're still fightin the war
