F Dear Mr. President, Am Dm C I’m a soldier with the 82nd Airborne stationed overseas. F Am My family and my friends all pray that God is watching over me. Dm C Even God can’t save us now. Bb F Mr. President, I’m writing you this poem, Bb F And I’ve sent along this picture of my family back at home. Bb Am C I hear my heart beat loud in these killing fields alone. Bb F I always hit my target; I just miss my happy home. Bb F When will be the end of this all? Bb F Tell me, when will be the end of this all? Bb Am C Now that our back is against the wall. F C Whoa, oh yea ---Repeat Intro once.--- F Am I joined the army like my father did and his father did before. Dm C I saw Army green and canvas look like perfect art of war. F Am The images I see now are like ones I saw before. Dm C How am I a hero if I don’t know what it’s for? Bb F Days are getting longer, nights I never get to sleep, Bb F And I just had a newborn daughter that I hope I get to see. Bb Am C I’ve got bloodshed on my conscience; she’s so innocent and free. Bb F I just killed some baby’s father, better him instead of me. Bb F When will be the end of this all? Bb F Tell me, when will be the end of this all? Bb Am C Now that our back is against the wall? F C Mankind is getting small. --Repeat Chorus Once-- F Am Before the war, life it was beautiful, we marched out in the sun. Dm C Now it’s stars and stripes at funerals, our darkest days have come. F Am Dying in this combat zone, it scares me half to death, Dm C ‘Cause if I don’t make it to heaven, what’s to live for after death? Bb F I’ve seen mothers of the friends I’ve lost out marching in a crowd, Bb F ‘Cause their sons wear purple hearts inside their coffins in the ground. Bb Am C When they left for war, they thought their mommies would be proud. Bb F When they faced off with their enemies, they fought to take them down. Bb F Hatred is tearing us all apart, Bb F Separation is tearing the world apart, Bb Am C Corruption is playing its part. _Outtro_ F C F Am Dm C C#5 F
