As recorded by Theory Of A Deadman (From the 2011 Album THE TRUTH IS...) [Intro] Dm [Verse 1]
Dm           F
Woke up screaming in bed

Gm          Bb     A
The silence taunts me

Dm            F
It's like I'm there again

Gm                 Bb       A
But this nightmare calms me down

Dm       F
The fire licks my skin

Gm        Bb   A
I feel it burn away

Dm             F
Bullets stream overhead

Gm             Bb   A
My heart beats deafening

Bb                   A
I've never been so afraid
[Chorus]
            Dm
But we were men

   Em              Bb
We walk the front lines

      Dm      Em      C        Bb
We defend our country with our lives

   C  Dm          C                  Bb
We pretend to see truth in all these lies

              Dm Em Bb    A    Dm
Cause in the end       we were men
[Verse 2]
Dm         F            Gm          Bb    A
I close my eyes to hide their faces haunt me

Dm          F
My faith is hard to find

Gm           Bb    A   Dm
Your picture calms me down

             F
I can't cope with the pain

Gm
These pills don't work

Bb                 A
They just leave me the same

Dm        F
I feel so weak today

Gm
You made me strong

   Bb          A        Bb
So why did you take it away?

Bb                       A
I'm trapped inside the afraid
[Chorus]
            Dm
But we were men

   Em              Bb
We walk the front lines

      Dm      Em      C        Bb
We defend our country with our lives

   C  Dm          C                  Bb
We pretend to see truth in all these lies

              Dm Em Bb    A    
Cause in the end       we were men
[Bridge]
Gm
Soldiers don't feel

Gm
They do what they're told

A
You send them to war

A
But they never go home

Bb
You feed on their bones live on through their names

    C                         Am        Dm
And pray for their souls that god can't save
[Guitar Solo] Dm F Gm Bb A Dm F Gm Bb A Bb C Dm Em Bb Am F Dm [Bridge]
Dm
We live to fight another day

Dm
And serve our country without dismay

Dm
For those who take us from our homes

Dm
May god have mercy on their souls
[Chorus]
            Dm
But we were men

   Em              Bb
We walk the front lines

      Dm      Em      C        Bb
We defend our country with our lives

   C  Dm          C                  Bb
We pretend to see truth in all these lies

              Dm Em Bb    A    Dm  Am  F
Cause in the end       we were men

C  Bb   Dm A F
We were men

We were men
