       D#
I was born to be of service
        A#
Camp Lejeune just felt like home
       Fm
I had honor, I found purpose
          G#
Sir, yes sir
That's what I know
      D#                         A#
They sent us to a place I never heard of weeks before
             Fm
When you're nineteen, it ain't hard to sleep
        G#
In the desert on God's floor
            Fm
Close your eyes, stop counting sheep
              G#
You ain't in bootcamp anymore

We were taught to shoot our rifles
Men and women side by side
Thought we'd be met as liberators
In a thousand-year-old fight
I got this painful ringing in my ear
From an IED last night
But no lead-lined Humvee war machine
Could save my sergeant's life
Three more soldiers, six civilians
Need these words to come out right

Chorus:
 D#            A#
God of mercy, God of light
 Fm                 G#
Save your children from this life
 D#                     A#
Hear these words, this humble plea
    Fm               G#
For I have seen the suffering
     D#                   A#
And with this prayer I'm hopin'
     Fm             G#
That we, can be unbroken

It's eighteen months now, I’ve been stateside
With this medal on my chest
But there are things I can't remember
And there are things I won't forget
I lie awake at night
With dreams the Devil shouldn't see
I wanna scream, but I can't breathe
And Christ, I'm sweatin' through these sheets
Where's my brothers? Where's my country?
Where's my "how things used to be"?

chorus

    Bm
My service dog's done more for me
          G#
Than the medication would
               D#
There ain't no angel that's coming to save me
    A#
But even if they could

   D#
Today, 22 will die from suicide
           A#
Just like yesterday, they're gone
           Fm
I live my life for each tomorrow
              G#
So their memories will live on
              D#
Once we were boys, and we were strangers
            A#
Now we're brothers and we're men
               Fm
Someday you'll ask me,
                           G#
 was it worth it to be of service in the end?
            Fm
Well, the blessing, and the curse is,
            G#
 yeah, I'd do it all again

     D# A#
Whoa-oh
     G#
Whoa-oh
     D# A#
Whoa-oh
     G#
Whoa-oh
     D# A#
Whoa-oh
     G#
Whoa-oh, unbroken
