Dm
Tell me what I'm supposed to think‬
         Am
When the bullets start to pour
     Dm
Lie about some greater good‬
         Am
When you ship me off to war‬
           Dm
A thousand dead on either side
         Am
Is there no one keeping score‬?
       Dm
I just wanna make it home
         Am
When you ship me off to war


[Verse 1]
Dm
We at war, we don't know what for
     Am
They made up a reason behind closed doors
       Dm
At the end of the season, we leave
              Am
Make an enemy bleed, hit the sеashore with the C4
         Dm
We don't rеcord, we just reload
                  Am
If you need more, it's a cheat code with unlimited rounds
Dm
When you hear the sound, start hitting the ground
Am
It's time to go make America proud
    Dm
But this ain't as fun as what they claim it be
     Am
This ain't a video game, you see
                    Dm
I shot the kid same age as me
                              Am
'Cause he ain't from the same place as me

And now the bloodstain stays with me
    Dm
I'm homesick and I miss my mama
Am
Can't sleep, I'm living with this trauma
Dm
I wanna just believe the dogma
Am
But I can't take it much longer


[Chorus]
        Dm
Tell me what I'm supposed to think‬
         Am
When the bullets start to pour
     Dm
Lie about some greater good‬
         Am
When you ship me off to war‬
           Dm
A thousand dead on either side
         Am
Is there no one keeping score‬?
       Dm
I just wanna make it home
         Am
When you ship me off to war


[Post-Chorus]
Dm         Am                  Dm  Am
  When you ship me off to war


[Verse 2]

Yeah
Dm
Watch me spend these billions
Am
Bombing these civilians
       Dm
Making enemies out of children
         Am
Am I the good guy? Am I the villain?
     Dm
I go back and forth, chameleon
   Am                                Dm
My partner next to me, he was twenty-three

When he went out to check the scene
        Am
Then he stepped on an IED, goddamn
Dm                             Am
Teflon, got a bulletproof vest on

But I still wanna hide and flee
Dm
  Something died inside when I wondered
Am
Why they caught him and not me
Dm
This stuff ain't always what it seem
     Am
When they changing the regime
       Dm
Better wake me from this crazy dream
Am
Living in the war machine


[Chorus]
        Dm
Tell me what I'm supposed to think‬
         Am
When the bullets start to pour
     Dm
Lie about some greater good‬
         Am
When you ship me off to war‬
           Dm
A thousand dead on either side
         Am
Is there no one keeping score‬?
       Dm
I just wanna make it home
         Am
When you ship me off to war


[Post-Chorus]
Dm  Am
    Ship me off to war
Dm  Am
    Ship me off to war
Dm  Am
    Ship me off to war
Dm  Am
    Ship me off to war


[Bridge]
Dm                    F                    E
  Joined Uncle Sam as soon as I turned eighteen (Oh no, no, no)
Dm                      F                    E
  Try to wash my hands, never gonna get them clean (Oh no, no, no)
Dm                   F                   E
  Follow my command, do or die, ain't no in-between (Oh no, no, no)
Dm                      N.C.                        Dm
  Try to wash my hands, never gonna get them clean
Dm
(PTSD, PTSD)
Dm
I might, I might
N.C.
Fuck around and start World War III
