A Soldiers Memoir Chords & Lyrics - Misc Unsigned Bands - Mitch Rossell

Intro: [C]

[VERSE 1]

I've been [C]home about 6 [Bm]months now
And [Am]I still have my doubts
I'm [F]not sure how I got here
Or [G]how I'm gonna get out

My [C]mama says I [Bm]look the same
as I [Am]did before I left
But if [F]she could see inside of me
It would, [G]scare her to death

[CHORUS]

I can [F]still taste the powder, from the [G]barrel of my gun
And I can [F]hear my sergeant screamin' &[G]quot;run soldier run"
I can [F]feel the backpack on my shoulder, [G]god it weighted a ton.
And [Am]I see death in [G]every single tho[F]ught.
They t[C]aught me how to put that uniform on [G]

But I just cant get it off.

[C]

[VERSE 2]

Last S[C]aturday they [Bm]honored us
In a [Am]small parade downtown.
And [F]when they set off those fireworks
I [G]nearly hit the ground.

While [C]they smiled and [Bm]cheered for us
All [Am]I could do was stare.
Cause [F]half of me is here at home
And h[G]alf of me is back there.

[*CHORUS*]
[Am]Brea[G]k:
Yeah [F]there's no end in sight [C] [Bm]
Cause' e[Am]ven though I'm h[G]ome now,
I'm still [F]fighting for me life.

[*CHORUS*]
