Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Staring  at the carnage
Praying  that the sun would never rise
 Living another  day in disguise
 These feelings  can't be right
 Lend me your courage  to stand up and fight
On  tonight
Ooooo....
 Stand up and fight
The  fighting rages on and on
To  challenge me you must be strong
I  walk your land but don't belong
Two  million soldiers can't be wrong
It's  no fun but I've been here before
 I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war
 (Not the way I pictured this, I wanted  better things)
Some  are scared, others killing for fun
 I shot a mother right in front of her son
 (Take this from my consciousness, and please  erase my dreams)
Fight  for honor, fight  for your life
Pray  to God that our  side is right
 And though  we won, I still  may lose
Until  I make it home  to you
I  see our mothers filled  with tears
Grew  up so fast where did  those years go?
Memories  won't  let you cry
Unless  I don't return  tonight
So  many soldiers on the other side
 I take their lives so they can't take mine
 (Scared to make it out alive, now murder's  all I know)
Nobody  tells me all the reasons we're here
 I have my weapon so there's nothing to fear
 (Another day, another life, but nothing  real to show for)
Fight  for honor, fight  for your life
Pray  to God that our  side is right
 And though  we won, I still  may lose
Until  I make it home  to you
I  see our mothers filled  with tears
Grew  up so fast where did  those years go?
Memories  won't  let you cry
Unless  I don't return  tonight
Staring  at the carnage
Praying  that the sun would never rise
 Living another  day in disguise
 These feelings  can't be right
 Lend me your courage  to stand up and fight
Watching  the death toll rise, wondering  how I'm alive
 Strangers' blood  on my hands, I've shot  all I can
There  are no silent nights, watching  your brothers all die
 To destroy  all their plans with no  thought of me
No thought  of me, no  thought of  me
Ohhhhh.....
Walk  the city lonely
Memories  that haunt are passing by
 A murderer walks  your street tonight
 Forgive  me for my crimes
Don't  forget that I was  so young
 Fought so scared in the name  of God and country
 Hope you enjoyed, and feel free to let me know if you think there is any way to
 make this better. :)
