Am F C G C (/F/C)
[Verse 1]
Am F C
The king’s taken back the throne.
Am F C
The useless seed is sown.
Am F Em
When they say they’re cutting off the phone,
G C (/F/C)
I tell 'em you're not home
Am F C
No place to hide,
Am F C
You're fightin' as a soldier on their side
Am F Em
You’re still a soldier in your mind
G C (/F/C)
Though nothing's on the line
Am F C
You say it’s money that we need,
Am F C
As if we’re the only mouths to feed.
Am F Em
And no no matter what you say,
G C (/F/C)
There’s some debts you'll never pay.
[Hook 1]
Am E F C
Working for the church while your family dies
Am E
You take what they give you
F C
And you keep it inside.
Am E F C
Every spark of friendship and love
G
will die without a home
C F Em G C
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone".
[Verse 2]
Am F C
I can taste the fear.
Am F C
Lift me up and take me out of here.
Am F Em
Don’t wanna fight, don’t wanna die
G C (/F/C)
Just wanna hear you cry.
Am F C
Who’s gonna throw the very first stone?
Am F C
Oh! who’s gonna reset the bone?
Am F Em
Walking with your head in a sling
G C (/F/C)
Wanna hear the soldier sing:
[Hook 2]
Am E F C
"Been working for the church while my family dies.
Am E F C
Your little baby sister’s gonna lose her mind.
Am E F C
Every spark of friendship and love
G
will die without a home."

Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
[Verse 3]
Em C G
I can taste your fear.
Em C G
It’s gonna lift you up and take you out of here.
Em C G
And the bone shall never heal;
D G
I care not if you kneel.
Em C G
We can’t find you now,
Em C G
But they’re gonna get their money back somehow.
Em C G
And when you finally disappear,
D G
We'll just say you were never here.
[Hook 3]
Em B
Working for the church while
C G
your life falls apart.
Em B C G
Singin' hallelujah with the fear in your heart.

Every spark of friendship and love

will die without a home."
