Intro: Am, F, C, E  
AmOn the porch we Fsit like lCepers wEho forgoAmt about the pain,
Fwe count the Cdrops of Erain.
AmLike veterans gone insFane, the war was just a Ggame,
the man took back ouCr guns, the Eword safe won’t ever Ammean the same
things used to seem a mFillion times betCter tEhan they weAmre.
The damage we incurFred, nCever uEsed to hurAmt, back when we hFad words,
Gand it’s absurd, I mean the wCay that the tEables turneCd.
CYou gonna see me aroundF, alright.
CTell the baby that he cFould’ve been mine.
CHow overjoyed I would have been tFo save your life that night, that afternoon,
Cbut it wouldn’t be mine Fand it wouldn’t be yoEu and that wouldAmn’t be right.
Am, F, C, E  
AmSo take this, let me give it to you.
FHere you are here Cit’s just fEor you, oh Amyeah and here’s a grain of
salt you shouFld take it too,
Cactually herEe’s a few,
Amit’s just a thing you couldn’t swing it so I’m bringing the cheese,
Fyou can always get the truth from me if yGou just say please I’ll Cdo my
best to makEe it easy.
CYou gonna see me aroundF, alright.
CTell the baby that he cFould’ve been mine.
CHow overjoyed I would have been tFo save your life that night, that afternoon,
Cbut it wouldn’t be mine Fand it wouldn’t be yoEu and that wouldAmn’t be right.
(Slow) Am, F, C, E  
AmThese eyes, beFhold a lot of what Cthese hands cannEot, they’re all I’ve
Amgot, they’re all I Fever wanted, wCas just these Eeyes.
CYou gonna see me aroundF, alright.
CTell the baby that he cFould’ve been mine.
CHow overjoyed I would have been tFo save your life that night, that afternoon,
