Will Work For Food

Dm He woke up F Shrapnel scars across the top of his head C His children at the edge of his bed Em Not sure if this really happened Dm He sits up F Just standing but he falls to the floor C Pleading that he's still fit for war Em He's cursing at his purple heart Dm Suit and Tie F Sits and waits and stares at the clock C Wondering about what time he got up Em Struggling with his lungs filled with tar Dm Interview F Says "it seems to me you're unfit" C Doesn't match the job description Em Cause no ones cares he's a veteran Dm As he looks for savior F In the back of the paper C He thinks he's willing and able Em Why can't I be like the rest Dm Nobody seems to draw nearer F This questions never looked clearer C Life starts to feel like a mirror Em His bottle clung to his chest Dm No more use F Resorting to a life of abuse C This love affair has tied up his noose Em He didn't get the option to choose Dm Oh god why me F I thought this was the land of the free C A life of fame without pedigree Em Cause freedom costs unfortunately Dm Oh god you're not waking up F Please wake up C Oh my love Em Wake up Dm Oh god you're not waking up F Please wake up C Oh my love Em Wake up Dm F C Em
