[Verse]
F Am G F So the air's getting colder and the news keeps us scared. Am G F I still wrestle this summer from the bones of our tired, blistered hands. Am G F 'Cause tonight we got drinks, and just a couple of friends. Am G F And the girl that my brother likes is finally talking to him. Am G F And his chest is all swelled like he's proud and happy. G Like he's got a great idea, like he's making a memory.
[Chorus]
C Am G Wake up, and come out to the car. C Am G F There's an East swell coming and it's howling off shore and we'll be... Am G F Lying like lions out in the sand. Am G And I'll be dead before you put a gun in my brother's hands.
[Verse]
F Am G F So we make jokes back home and we lighten the mood. Am G F But growing up our parents saw what sending the kids to fight could really do. Am G F And now with the war I can tell they're a little shook up. Am G F 'Cause just a few mothers' sons will never really be enough. Am G F Not 'til half of our names are etched out in the wall... G ...and the other half ruined from the things we saw.
[Chorus]
C Am G Wake up, and come out to the car. C Am G F There's an East swell coming and it's howling off shore and we'll be... Am G F Lying like lions out in the sand. Am G And I'll be dead before you put a gun in my brother's hands.
