There's a letter at my mother's house, came with a folded flag.
G C G D C
It said Right now, I'm coming home in a body bag.
G D Em C
It's a pride and a pain that are one and the same.
G D Em C
It's a burning cigarette, it's a horrible dream.
G D Em C
There's a man in an office who's going through files
G D C
and a woman who watches TV.
Em D C Em D C
And she doesn't get the jokes told by late night talk show hosts,

but for some reason she laughs anyway.

There's this soap in my bathroom, and it's all covered in hairs.
G C G D C
There's this hope in my brain, and it's all covered in prayers.
G D Em C
There's a girl in this town who doesn't know I exist.
G D Em C
There's a wounded sense of pride and a pain in my fist.
