[Intro] | D | D | [Verse 1]
       D
I was born to be of service

        A
Camp Lejeune just felt like home

       Em
I had honor, I found purpose

          G
Sir, yes sir

G
That's what I know

      D                          A
They sent us to a place I never heard of weeks before

             Em
When you're nineteen, it ain't hard to sleep

        G
In the desert on God's floor

             Em
Close your eyes, stop counting sheep

              G
You ain't in bootcamp anymore
[Instrumental] | D | G | [Verse 2]
         D
We were taught to shoot our rifles

         A
Man and woman, side by side

                 Em
Thought we'd be met as liberators

       G
In a thousand-year-old fight

            D
I got this painful ringing in my ear

        A
From an IED last night

        Em                                   G
But no lead-lined Humvee war machine, could save my sergeant's life

            Em
Three more soldiers, six civilians

            G
Need these words to come out right
[Chorus]
 D             A
God of mercy, God of light

 Em                 G
Save your children from this life

 D                      A
Hear these words, this humble plea

    Em               G
For I have seen the suffering

     D                    A
And with this prayer I'm hopin'

     Em             G
That we, can be unbroken
[Instrumental] | D | G | [Verse 3]
         D
It's 18 months now, I've been stateside

           A
With this medal on my chest

                Em
But there are things I can't remember

                G
And there are things I won't forget

   D                                  A
I lie awake at night with dreams the devil shouldn't see

           Em
I wanna scream, but I can't breathe

                   G
And Christ, I am sweating through these sheets

             Em
Where's my brothers? Where's my country?

            G
Where's my how things used to be?
[Chorus]
 D             A
God of mercy, God of light

 Em                  G
Save your children from this life

 D                      A
Hear these words, this humble plea

    Em               G
For I have seen the suffering

     D                    A
And with this prayer I'm hopin'

     Em             D
That we, can be unbroken
[Bridge]
    Bm
My service dog's done more for me

          G
Than the medication would

               D
There ain't no angel that's coming to save me

    A
But even if they could
[Verse 4]
   D
Today, 22 will die from suicide

           A
Just like yesterday, they're gone

           Em
I live my life for each tomorrow

              G
So their memories will live on

              D
Once we were boys, and we were strangers

            A
Now we're brothers and we're men

               Em                                   G
Someday you'll ask me, was it worth it to be of service in the end?

            Em                                   G
Well, the blessing, and the curse is, yeah, I'd do it all again
[Outro] | D A | G |

Whoa-oh

     D   A
Whoa-oh

     G
Whoa-oh

     D   A
Whoa-oh

     G
Whoa-oh, unbroken
