Tom: Am
[Intro] Am G F E7
Am G F E7 Am Bm7(5-)
If my man was fighting some unholy war
E7
I would be behind him
Am
Straight shook up beside him
Bm7(5-)
With strength he didn't know
E7
It's you I'm fighting for
Bb7M Am
He can't lose with me in tow
Bb7M Am
I refuse to let him go
Bb7M Dm
At his side and drunk on pride
Gm F E7
We wait for the blow
Am Bm7(5-)
Put he in writing But who you're writing for
E7
Just us on kitchen floor
Am Bm7(5-)
Justice done reciting my stomach standing still
E7
Like you're reading my will
Bb7M Am
He still stands in spite of what his scars say
Bb7M Am
And I'll battle till this bitter finale
Bb7M Dm Gm F E7
Just me, my dignity and this guitar case
Am Bm7(5-)
Yes, yes my man is fighting some unholy war
E7
And I will stand beside you
Am
But who you're dying for?
Bm7(5-)
I would have died too
E7
I'd liked to
Am G F
If my man was fighting
E Am G F E
some unholy war
Am
If my man was fighting
