Intro: C, F

C      F              C
Lonely soldier, go home
C          F       C
Lonely but never alone
Am                       C
Good eyes see nothing to shoot
Am                  G              C 
Good feet feel good givin' up good boots
C           F                C
So ask your father how'd you fall
C        F                C
Ask your father how'd you fall
Am                         C
Like a leaf sittin' on the groud
Am                     G       C
Good for nothing 'cept kicking around


                  F               C
She died with her hands stretched out
                  F      C 
She died with her hungry mouth
                  F             C
She died with her mind full of doubt
                G
And thoughts of weakening
                F           C
And so may your river never dry
             F           C
And may your mouth never lie
               F                       C  
And may you be satisfied to never know why
    G             F                 G*
Sometimes someone just wants to die.

So where'd you get those cuts on your hand
Thought i told you 'bout playing in the sand
There's always someone who's careless with glass
There's always questions that you don't want to ask

She died with her hands stretched out
She died with her hungry mouth
She died with her mind full of doubt
And thoughts of weakening
And so may your river never dry
And may your mouth never lie
And may you be satisfied to never know why
Sometimes someone just wants to die.

So loney soldier, go home
Lonely but never alone
Good eyes see nothing to shoot
Good feet feel good givin' up good boots.
