Where's my country? Ab Where's my "how things used to be"? www.chordzone.org [CHORUS] Eb Bb God of mercy, God of light Fm Ab Save your children from this life Eb Bb Here these words, this humble plea Fm Ab For I have seen the suffering Eb Bb And with this prayer, I'm hopin' Ab That we can be unbroken [BRIDGE] Cm My service dog's done more for me Ab Than the medication would Eb There ain't no angel that's comin' to save me Bb But even if they could [VERSE FOUR] Eb Today, twenty-two will die from suicide Bb Just like yesterday, they're gone Fm I live my life for each tomorrow Ab So their memories will live on Eb Once we were boys, and we were strangers Bb Now we're brothers and we're men Fm Someday, you'll ask me, "Was it worth it Ab To be of service in the end?" Fm Well, the blessing and the curses Ab Yeah, I'd do it all again Eb Bb Ab [OUTRO] Eb Eb Bb Whoa-oh-oh-oh Ab Whoa-oh-oh-oh Eb Bb Whoa-oh-oh-oh Ab Whoa-oh-oh Eb Bb Whoa-oh-oh-oh Ab Whoa-oh-oh Ab Eb Whoa-oh, yeah
