You’ll be glad to know that i broke mine.

Em D G

Well i lost two good friends this year,

i’ve found that God can only fill.

You can hate me if you want to.

That’s if you think you’ve got a right.

but sometimes they tend to fail.

And i tried to come out swinging

G D

but i couldn’t hold back tears.

Em C

It’s no wonder that a can of soup

from the wars that i have waged
