[Intro]

[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]

[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]

[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]
