[Intro 1]
[A5][C][A5][C][A][E5][A5][C][A5][C][A5]
[C][A][E5][A5][C][A5][C][A5][C]
[A5][C5][D][C][A5][G][C][A5][C][C5][C][A5]

[Verse 1]
I [A5]threw my useless life
Into their wars and ri[C]ots
[A5]For the ideal
To serve the ones I [C]love
[A5]Yes, all too s[C]oon[D5][A5]
No recognition [C]for
[A5]My pointless sacrifice[C][C5]
[A5]And far too late I saw[C]
[A5]I left[C] my[A5]

[Verse 2]
[C]home de[A5]fence[C]less[A5]
[C]Thi[A5]s world's[C] a[A5]
[C]slaughter[A] ho[E]use[A5]
And [C]men [A5]like [C]me [A5]are not the butchers
I brought [F]justice to [E5]no on[D]e[A5]
But there was no doubt
It always stands [F]to reason
[E5]Protect the just
[D]Conquer the[Dm] felons[E]
[A5]Returned

[Verse 3]
[C][C5][A5]
Wounded and [C]broken[A5]
But I never [C]left [A5]these barren fields
And [C]now [A5]I

[Verse 4]
understand
[F]There is no war[Dm] to e[D]nd all war[A5]s
[G]Take it [F]from [E]me
[A5]Drowning your honest love
[F]In mindless vio[G]lenc[C]e
[A5]I bring the war home
[G]Still [F]raging within [E]me[A5]

[Verse 5]
[Am]All too soon[D]
[A5]These children lost thei[C]r fathers
[A5]And far too late I saw[Am][D]
[A5]That not for them I foug[C]ht[A5]
The gods of profit
[C]Led [A5]me into[A][A5]
Their [C]battles

[Verse 6]
[A5]I never brought secu[F]rity
[E5]To those I w[D]anted to protect
[Am]Feed[A5]ing the machine
And [Am]stain[F]ing this [E]world
[E5]With blood instead
[D]And

[Verse 7]
only [E]now [Am]I und[A5]erstand
[F]There is no war[Dm] to e[D]nd all war[A5]s[Am][A5]
[G]Take [F]it [E]from me[A5]
[Am]Drowning your hone[F]st love
In [G]mind[C]less [G]vio[A5]lence
I bring [Am]the war [G]home
[C]Still [F]raging [Am]with[A5][Am]
[C]in [A5]me[Am][C][C#m][E]
[C]Still ragin[A5]g within [Am]me[C][A5][C]
[C#m][E][Am][C][Am][C][Am][A5]

[Verse 8]
Take it from me
You'll carry [Am]the war [E]home
I brought [D]justice
To [Am]no on[A5]e

[Verse 9]
Now they spit me [Am]in the [A5]face
[F]I did not r[E]ecognize
The real of[D]fenders
[C]And

[Verse 10]
now I [A5]understand
[F]There is no war[D] to end all
[Am]wars[A5][Am][A5]
[G]Take it from [F]me[E][Am]
[A5]Drowning your [Am]honest love
[F]In mindless vio[G]lenc[C]e
[Am]I bring the war home
[G]Still [F]raging [Am]within me
[F]

[Verse 11]
[G]
[Am]We brought affliction to t[G]he masses
And [F]splendour [E]to [Am]a few
[F]We are aggre[G]ssors
[G]Not de[F]fender[E]s[Am]
