[VERSE 1]
G /F# Em G /F# Em
I am a soldier of the good ole USA.
G /F# Em G /F# Em
I’ve joined with the forces, a patriotic thing,
C D
Protecting my country, letting freedom ring,
C D
Not prepared for all, I’ve done and seen,
C D G
Wicked memories, getting the best of me.
[CHORUS]
C D
Can’t tell my fam or friends ‘bout this dreadful war inside,
C D
This prison in my soul, consuming me alive.
C D G D C
I once had purpose, destiny and dreams,
D Em D C
The door to this prison, is locked up from within,
C G D C D G Em G Em
This one thing stops me now, you know it’s classified,
[VERSE 2]
G /F# Em G /F# Em
There is only One, who knows what I have done.
G /F# Em G /F# Em
He knows everything, so I can let Him in.
C D
I’ll unlock my door, ‘cause I need His love.
C D
Evil’s in this world, it wasn’t my choice,
C D G
Precious memories, twisted by love and war.
[VERSE 3]
G /F# Em G /F# Em
I am a lover, my spouse will testify.
G /F# Em G /F# Em
Cherishing the moments, our dreams still yet to be.
C D
Passion drives me forth, onward in my quest,
C D
I’ll get back to the place, where I have strayed,
C D G
Revving my engines, Jesus take this wheel.
[CHORUS 2] Last Time
C D
I’ll tell my fam and friends ‘bout this changing place inside
C D
This nightmare in my soul, is giving me new strength.
C D G D C
Now I have purpose, destiny and dreams,
C D Em D C
The door to this prison, is opened up with love.
C G D C D G
Nothing stops me now, not even classified, I am free!
