  This is from "Misguided Roses" track no. 9.  It's sort of a bluesy twist

  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

           E

  Well it seems I've been a soldier 

           (464444)

  Heaven knows I've been no saint

             Asus2

  With my camouflage and armor 

        (242222)

  Cold heart and grease paint

      E

  To you this has no meaning

       (464444)

  The armistice laid down 

       Asus2

  The armies all are quiet 

          (242222)

  And the guns don't make a sound, 'cause you..

  

  CHORUS

  E                             C#m7

     You melted the steel walls, tore down the bobwire

  Bm7                   Asus2        (002100)

     filled in the trenches, demanded a ceasefire

  E                         C#m7 

     And now you're leavin', there'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#m                 D                            E     

    The blood that was spilled in the heartache before

  C#m                 Asus2          B                             E

    Left on massive scars, that I never, never could ignore to you

  

  CHORUS(acoustic only)

  

  Fade off playing chorus part--sing "Doot dooo doot dooo doot"
