Army Reserve

[Intro] B  A  B  G

B             A
How long must she stand
G
Before the ground, it gives way
B             A
To an endless fall
B                  G
She can feel this war on her face
B                A
The stars on her pillow
G
She's folding in darkness begging for slumber


D    E   F
I'm not blind
      G      D
I can see it coming
D       E   F
Looks like lightning
G             D
In my child's eye

D    E   F
I'm not frantic
      G       D
I can feel it coming
D      E   F
Violently shakes
G      D
My body


B         A
Her son's slanted
B                      G
Always giving her the sideways eye
B                     A
The empty chair where dad sits
G
How loud can silence get?
B            A
And mom, she reassures
B                       G
To contain him but it's becoming a lie
B                     A
She tells herself and anyone else
G
Father is risking his life for our freedoms


D    E   F
I'm not blind
      G      D
I can see it coming
D      E    F
Looks like lightning
G             D
In my child's eye

D    E   F
I'm not frantic
      G       D
I can feel it coming
D        E      F
Darling you'll save me
       G    D
If you save yourself
