Love And War

C# Before bed I'd read them the letters Though they could not understand G# I seem to hear your voice coming through them C# Oh I was so excited to see you And knew what I was gonna wear G# Picked my outfit out for months before C# LORD help me I have tried G# A#m Tried to stand before you C# But you're not of the same mind G# A#m That carried me to our bed F# G# A#m And I look so hard right at you F# G# C# For some sign that you're coming back C# I went to fight, gave it all I could For the common man, for the common good G# But what I actually did was unspeakable C# The man I was is far from sight Too many wrongs can't make a right G# I don't want to ruin your memory of me C# God help me I've tried G# A#m Tried to stay alive C# For the sake of my bride G# A#m And the wee ones at home F# G# A#m But now I can't shut my eyes F# G# C# Because then I see it all again (Instr Break) C# God save me I've tried G# A#m Tried to relieve you C# I left the rope tied G# A#m And the chair in the corner by my bed F# G# And I don't want to live A#m But I can't leave you F# G# A#m So here I am
