 This is from "Misguided Roses" track no. 9. It's sort of a bluesy twist
 on "3 AM."
 
             E       (464444) 
 I pull my boots off,
                   Asus2     (242222) 
 Throw my weapon on the floor
           E      (464444) 
 I cry my eyes out
                      Asus2 (242222) 
 In my private little war
          E                       
 Well it seems I've been a soldier
          (464444)              
 Heaven knows I've been no saint
            Asus2            
 With my camouflage and armor
       (242222)             
 Cold heart and grease paint
     E                     
 To you this has no meaning
      (464444)          
 The armistice laid down
      Asus2              
 The armies all are quiet
         (242222)                             
 And the guns don't make a sound, 'cause you..
 
 CHORUS
 E                           C#m7                  
  You melted the steel walls, tore down the bobwire
 Bm7 Asus2 (002100)
 filled in the trenches, demanded a ceasefire
 E                       C#m7                     
  And now you're leavin', there's nothin' I can do
 Bm7 Asus2 (002100)
 I want you to know, you're gonna take me with you
 
 2nd Verse
 Well now feel the match on suicide in the foxhole of my mind
 and way off in the distance, the air raid sirens whine
 and they sing your song of rescue, to my tattered worn out shell
 you drag me to your safety, from this my front line hill
 
 CHORUS
 
 (bridge)
 C#m                D                            E  
  The blood that was spilled in the heartache before
 C#m                Asus2          B                            E 
  Left on massive scars, that I never, never could ignore to you
 
 CHORUS(acoustic only)
 
 Fade off playing chorus part--sing "Doot dooo doot dooo doot"
