Most of it sounds right to me, I couldn't figure out the little riff during the
verses but hopefully somebody else will soon!

B
Slip back out of whack at your best
Ebm
It's a nightmare
G#m E
So I'm joining the army
B
Know how folks back out, I still call
Ebm
Will you hate for me now?
G#m C#m
We got the righteous advice to use it
G#m C#m
Got everything but you can just choose it
B
I won't tie me a puppet on a string
G#m E B F#
Don't go that way
G#m E B F#
I'll wait for you
G#m
And I'm tired of all your friends
E
They're still at your door
B F#
And I won't, I better call you
G#m E B F#
So long my friend and adversary
B
But I will call you
( B C#m )

B
Get dressed jump out of bed and do it best
Ebm
Are you ok?
G#m C#m
I've been out around this town
G#m C#m B
Everybody's been singing the same song ten years
G#m E B F#
I'll wait for you
G#m E B F#
Will you wait for me too?
G#m
And they sacrifice their lives
E
In our land are all closed eyes
B F#
I've been saying we're beaten down, I won't say it again
G#m E B
So long, my end
F#
The sorry embrace
