Will Work For Food

        Dm *
He woke up
                                       F *
Shrapnel scars across the top of his head
                                 C *
His children at the edge of his bed
                             Em *
Not sure if this really happened

        Dm *
He sits up
                                     F *
Just standing but he falls to the floor
                                   C *
Pleading that he's still fit for war
                              Em *
He's cursing at his purple heart

         Dm
Suit and Tie
                                    F
Sits and waits and stares at the clock
                                 C
Wondering about what time he got up
                                      Em
Struggling with his lungs filled with tar

       Dm
Interview
                               F
Says "it seems to me you're unfit"
                               C
Doesn't match the job description
                               Em
Cause no ones cares he's a veteran

                    Dm
As he looks for savior
                      F
In the back of the paper
                             C
He thinks he's willing and able
                         Em
Why can't I be like the rest
                       Dm
Nobody seems to draw nearer
                               F
This questions never looked clearer
                               C
Life starts to feel like a mirror
                           Em
His bottle clung to his chest

         Dm
No more use
                         F
Resorting to a life of abuse
                                   C
This love affair has tied up his noose
                               Em
He didn't get the option to choose

           Dm
Oh god why me
                                     F
I thought this was the land of the free
                          C
A life of fame without pedigree
                           Em
Cause freedom costs unfortunately

                       Dm *
Oh god you're not waking up
          F *
Please wake up
        C *
Oh my love
      Em *
Wake up

                         Dm
Oh god you're not waking up
             F
Please wake up
         C
Oh my love
     Em
Wake up
