Sorry, really not sure what that Asus2 chord really is... Also, for the D/F# I just play the low E string
[Intro]
G  Asus2  Em  G  Am  G  D/F#
GI planted a garden Cfull of tEmhings that turned out rGotten
fruits and Cgreens for miles and mEmiles that even Dinsects thought were bad
so I tGhought I’d sing about it - Ctry and Emmake my friends all Glike them
maybe Ceveryone would Emlove me more if I sDounded really sad
G
So I sGhot a man in AfghanAmistan, Emhe was bleeding Gon me
then he sCaid his name was JEmesus and he Dnever had an army
as he tGook his dying breath, the lAmast thing tEmhat he thought he’d Gtell me is
“It's betCter to die for Emnothing than to Dkill just for your country”
and my hCeart wGept as the cChurch slGept
                   Am*                 C  
they were dreaming of parades and politicians
and a savior who Amallowed them to rewrite his words unDtil it matched the war inside their hGearts
so I Gact like I have a right to sAming abEmout the things that Garen’t right
from the cComfort of my cEmouch I pretend DI’ve done nothing wrong
as I Ghoard my money closely, Ambury coEmins for all my Ggroceries
and I hCaven’t met my nEmeighbors yet, but I Dpromise I will someday soon
cause it's Conly been two years since I moved Ghere inside this Emneighborhood
hCow much longer could it be till Gwe are family, Emwe are blood?
so CI’ll just play my songs and hope that Gthey come swooning Emto my door
the Conly thing to life worth doing is Emthat one thing that Gyou’re made for
well, Amam I made for Dmyself anyGmore?
[Interlude]
  C    Gx4
I Amfound out I am Dnothing at all!

Sorry, really not sure what that Asus2 chord really is... Also, for the D/F# I just play the low E string

[Intro]

G Asus2 Em G Am G D/F#

G C Em G

I planted a garden full of things that turned out rotten

C Em D

fruits and greens for miles and miles that even insects thought were bad

G C Em G

so I thought I’d sing about it - try and make my friends all like them

C Em D

maybe everyone would love me more if I sounded really sad

G Am Em G

So I shot a man in Afghanistan, he was bleeding on me

C Em D

then he said his name was Jesus and he never had an army

G Am Em G

as he took his dying breath, the last thing that he thought he’d tell me is

C Em D

“It's better to die for nothing than to kill just for your country”

C G C G

and my heart wept as the church slept

Am C

they were dreaming of parades and politicians

Am D G

and a savior who allowed them to rewrite his words until it matched the war inside their hearts

G Am Em G

so I act like I have a right to sing about the things that aren’t right

C Em D

from the comfort of my couch I pretend I’ve done nothing wrong

G Am Em G

as I hoard my money closely, bury coins for all my groceries

C Em D

and I haven’t met my neighbors yet, but I promise I will someday soon

C G Em

cause it's only been two years since I moved here inside this neighborhood

C G Em

how much longer could it be till we are family, we are blood?

C G Em

so I’ll just play my songs and hope that they come swooning to my door

C Em G

the only thing to life worth doing is that one thing that you’re made for

Am D G

I found out I am nothing at all!
