[Intro 1]
[Em][C][D][Em][C][D][Em][C][D][Em][C]

[Verse 1]
You [G]want her to [F]try [C]new things
She re[G]minds you she [F]wears your ring
[C]And aft[G]er a cou[F]ple dri[C]nks she's
a little [G]scared [F]of you[C]
[G]A good friend is [F]hard [C]to find
You [G]wish you could [F]spend [C]more time
[G]Towing ci[F]vilian [C]lines,
but they're all [G]scared [F]of you[C]

[Verse 2]
It's not [Em]the time
that makes it [G]go bad
It's not the thought [Em]of
what you could've [G]had
It's not the [Em]way that her
figure [D]has [G]changed
It's just that a sol[F]dier gets strange
[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]You know she's a [F]real [C]good girl
She re[G]minds you that [F]every [C]curl
That [G]whips in the [F]wind of the [C]world
Is watched by the [G]eyes of [F]God[C]
But [G]lately [F]your mane's gone [C]white
You [G]itch in your [F]veins in the [C]night
Be[G]fore you came [F]home alright
[C]You wielded the[G] lightning rod[F][C]

[Verse 4]
It ain't the [Em]time that makes it go [G]South
It ain't the li[Em]quor that
burns in [G]your mouth
Nearly [Em]nothing around [G]here's changed
It's just that a sol[F]dier gets [C]strange

[Verse 5]
She [C]turns off the lights so [Em]you
can't see her body
You [C]can't make her fight when
[D]you know [Em]that you're wrong
[C]They call you a hero,[Em]
so many still fighting
[G]This ain't where you [F]be [G]long

[Interlude 1]
[C][G]
[F][C][G][F][C][G][F][C][G][F][C]

[Verse 6]
[G]Maybe you'll [F]re-enlist
[C]It It [G]couldn't be [F]worse than [C]this
[G]But think of the things you'll mis[C]s
If you're inside [G]the wire [F]again[C]

[Verse 7]
It's not [Em]the dreams
that keep you up [G]late
It's not the [Em]world you saw
[G]incinerate
It's not the [Em]way that her figure
[D]has cha[G]nged
It's just that a sol[F]dier gets [C]strange[G]
Most of [F]all [C]you got[Em][C][D]
[Em]stra[C]nge[D]

[Outro 1]
