  But at night when you 
 Dm           F Em
sleep does it bother you?

You like to hide behind lies

try it make it strong
(I did what i can to
try it make it strong)
(I can see that
you're strong)

    C
Its January 1970 
         G
do you remember me
    F
You put me on a boat across 
               G
the sea in the name of victory
    C
But much to my surprised when I 
                     G
arrived there was no welcoming committee
   F
Instead there was a man for me to 
               G
kill and now I see all this too real


Refrain:
C
  Then I saw him standing
G
with a bayonet
F
  and as I ran towards 
       G
him he hardly broke a sweat
C
  When I took his life 
   G
he fell to his knees
F
  And as his eyes began to
G
fade he whispered softly


Chorus 1:

Godspeed this letter
 G
away from here

I've sealed it with my tears

fists And godspeed this

My work down here is through

Verse 2:
    C
I'm in his pocket that I saw the 
picture of his children and his 
G          F
family And I began to realize this 
                      G
person I despised, in actuality
    C
Was not much different from
myself we probably could have 
                  G
taught each other many things
    F
And now I know its much too 
ate although I couldn't hesitate
  GI checked his gun and 

his chamber was empty
