When The Time Comes

C When the time comes I put my feet in the water Am7 It's not as warm as I expect Em Will I go down like a preachers son? G Or will I come back up like a world war vet? C Will I watch my brothers die? Am7 Speak true words into their lives? Em Will I hold them close and tell them why G The life they led was sacrifice? F C I don't know much Am Em But I know about love F C And how it hurts me to give up Am G It hurts me to give up C When the time comes I put my hands on the table Am7 They are examined for what they are Eml A long life line that's been cut short G By the road, the time, the battle scars C What I would give to be back home Am7 Where the sun sets over the water Em Someone save me from these preachers sons G Save me from their daughters F C Still I don't know much but Am Em But I know about love F C And how it hurts me to give up Am G It hurts me to give up F G Am Why do we always say we're fine C F When it's obvious we're lying G Am Why don't we ever tell the truth C What do we got to lose? G F C And I don't know much but Am Em But I know about love F C And how it hurts me to give up Am G It hurts me to give up Repeat C When the time comes I put my feet in the water Am7 It's not as warm as I expect End on Em
