[Verse}
B
  Jennifer lost the war today

        B
They'll find her burned and raped

C
Through it all

    D
She must have wondered

B            B
"What have I done?"

    E             A
But nobody really cares today

    D              E*
The world's a busy place

C                    D                 B
  Guess she must have really sinned, now

B
Really sinned, now
[Chorus]
A               D
  I guess we're all just soldiers

E*          E*
But she was only six years old

A         D
  Left to die by strangers

E*           E*
  Her family waits

A              D
  And if we're all just soldiers

E*         E*            D
  Is it so wrong to be afraid?

B                      E  A  D  E* C  D  B  B
     Jennifer lost the war
[Verse]
E               A
Phoebe lost the war today

      D               E*
There must be some mistake

C               D
 Say it happens all the time

   B              B
And it's said and done

E                 A
And Little Miss 1565

    D              E*
Her soul remains unclaimed

C                    D              B
 Guess you must have really sinned, now

B
Really sinned, now
[Chorus]
A       D
  Morality won't help her

E*             E*          A
 When she lies silent in a morgue

            D
And all our sorrows, well, just

E*               E*
  Don't count at all

A              D
  But will the morning headlines

E*     E*              D
  Even say that it's a shame?

B                      D
   What are we heading for?

B
   Jennifer lost the war

[Bridge]
B                  D C#
Seen it all before

A
Silent on the ground

        E*
As he's walking away

      B                    D C#
And I wonder how many more

A
Everybody'll take it

             E*
Like they've nothing to say

B
Jennifer lost, lost, lost, lost the war, now
[Chorus]
A               D
  I guess we're all just soldiers

E*          E*
But she was only six years old

A         D
  Left to die by strangers

E*           E*
  Her family waits

A              D
  And will the morning headlines

E*     E*              D
  Even say that it's a shame?

B                     D
  What are we heading for?
