We Were Men Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Woke up screaming [C]in bed[Dm]
The silence [F]taunts [E]me[Am]
It's like I am [C]there again
[Dm]But this nightmare calms[F] me do[E]wn[Am]
The fire [C]licks my [Dm]skin
I feel it [F]burn [Am]away
Pulling stream [C]overhead[Dm]
My heart beats [F]deafen[E] in[F]g
I've never been so [E]afraid

[Verse 2]
But [E]we [Am]were men
We [Bm]walk the front [F]lines
We de[Am]fend our [Bm]country with our [F]lives
We [G]pre[Am]tend to see
[G]truth in all these [F]lies
'Cause in the [Am]en
[Bm]d we[F] were [E]men[Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
I close my [C]eyes to [Dm]hide
Their faces [F]haunt [E]me
[Am]My faith is hard[C] to find
[Dm]Your picture calms[F] me do[E]wn[Am]
I can't cope [C]with the pain
[Dm]These pills don't work
[F]They just leave [E]me [Am]the same
I feel so [C]weak today
[Dm]You made me strong
So [F]why did you [E]take it [F]away?
I'm trapped inside the [E]afraid

[Verse 4]
But [E]we were [Am]men
We [Bm]walk the front [F]lines
We de[Am]fend our [Bm]country with our [F]lives
We [G]pre[Am]tend to see
[G]truth in all these [F]lies
'Cause in the [Am]en
[Bm]d we[F] were[E]

[Verse 5]
Sol[Dm]diers don't feel
Though they do what they're told
[E]You send them to war
But they never go home
You [F]feel on their bones
They fought through their veins
We [G]cry for their souls
That [E]just can't [Am]take

[Verse 6]
We live to [Am]fight another day
And serve our country without dismay
For those who take us from our homes

[Verse 7]
May God have mercy on their souls
[Am]We w[E]ere me[Am]n
We [Bm]walk the front [F]lines
We de[Am]fend our [Bm]country with our [F]lives
We [G]pre[Am]tend to see
[G]truth in all these [F]lies
'Cause [Am]in[Bm][F][E][Am][E][C]
