[A]I hold the cold steel of my [D]rifle as I dream of foreign [A]lands,
and I [D]promise myself I will cherish every moment I [A]can,
but there's [E]ghosts that follow me a[D]round everywhere I [A]am.
When i say 'goodbye'[D] I try to be [A]strong.
now I'm [D]going back to the U.S. where I [A]belong.
I am [E]never alone, the [D]war seems to follow me [A]home.
no longer an active [D]soldier when i walk down the [A]street.
now I'm [D]shaking hands with everyone that I [A]meet.
And I [E]watch everyone and I'm [D]wondering what they [A]see.

[A]Civilian ways are [D]now what's foreign to [A]me,
I came [D]off a long term, I left this place in two oh oh [A]three.
May we [E]never forget the sacri[D]fices my friends made for [A]me.

[A]I live in Marysville [D]right on the county [A]line,
and my [D]brother and my mother both visit me all the [A]time,
and [E]visions of you are always [D]running right through my [A]mind.
We [A]always talked about what we're [D]gonna do when the war is [A]won.
We're gonna [D]fix up them old cars and ride them into the [A]sun.
When i [E]heard you was no longer w[D]ith us, man, i was [A]done.

May we [E]never forget the sacri[D]fices my friends made for [A]me.
May we never forget the sacrifices my friends made for me.
