on "3 AM."
                      E(464444)
I pull my boots off,
                            Asus2(242222)
Throw my weapon on    the floor
                   E(464444)
I cry my eyes out
                           Asus2(242222)
In my private little war
Well it sEeems I've been a soldier
         (464444)
Heaven knows I've been no saint
With my camAsus2ouflage and armor
      (242222)
Cold heart and grease paint
To yEou this has no meaning
     (464444)
The armistice laid down
The aAsus2rmies all are quiet
        (242222)
And the guns don't make a sound, 'cause you..
CHORUS
   EYou melted the steel walls, C#m7tore down the bobwire
                   Bm7          Asus2(002100)
   filled in the trenches, demanded a ceasefire
   EAnd now you're leavin', C#m7there's nothin' I can do
                   Bm7         Asus2(002100)
   I want you to know, you're gonna take me with you
2nd Verse
Well now feel the match on suicide in the foxhole of my mind
and way off in the distance, the air raid sirens whine
and they sing your song of rescue, to my tattered worn out shell
you drag me to your safety, from this my front line hill
CHORUS
(bridge)
  C#mThe blood that was Dspilled in the heartache befEore
  C#mLeft on massive scAsus2ars, that I nevBer, never could ignore to youE  
CHORUS(acoustic only)
Fade off playing chorus part--sing "Doot dooo doot dooo doot"
