Verse 1
CAmDm
My belief is that we fight and we bleed,
AmDm
And never find what we need to carry on
CAmDm
And my belief is that we lie in the dirt,
AmDmC
And can't get rid of all this hurt and carry on

Not a squadron of tanks,
GC
Or soldiers of different ranks could save us!
EmG
Not a fleet of policemen or,
GC
faith or religion could give me the guts to talk to you again
Verse 2
CAmDm
why don't you stop wasting your time,
AmDm
because I've been wasting my time for far too long.
CAmDm
and when you realize what you have done,
AmDmC
I hope you come and find me and say that you were wrong
Chorus
EmG
Not a squadron of tanks,
