[Intro]
C Am7 Em G
[Verse 1]
C
When the time comes I put my feet in the water
Am7
It's not as warm as I expect
Em
Will I go down like a preacher's son?
G
Or will I come back up like a world war vet?
C
Will I watch my brothers die?
Am7
Speak true words into their lives?
Em
Will I hold them close and tell them why
G
The life they led was sacrifice?
[Chorus]
F C
I don't know much
Am Em
But I know about love
F C
And how it hurts me to give up
Am Em
It hurts me to give up
[Verse 2]
C
When the time comes I put my hands on the table
Am7
They are examined for what they are
Em
A long life line that's been cut short
G
By the road, the time, the battle scars
C
What I would give to be back home
Am7
Where the sun sets over the water
Em
Someone save me from these preacher's sons
G
Save me from their daughters
[Chorus]
F C
Still I don't know much but
Am Em
But I know about love
F C
And how it hurts me to give up
Am Em
It hurts me to give up
[Bridge]
F G Am
Why do we always say we're fine
C F
When it's obvious we're lying
G Am
Why don't we ever tell the truth
C
What do we got to lose?
[Chorus]
F C
And I don't know much but
Am Em
But I know about love
F C
And how it hurts me to give up
Am Em
It hurts me to give up
F C
And I don't know much but
Am Em
But I know about love
F C
And how it hurts me to give up
Am G
It hurts me to give up
[Outro]
