Verse 1:
I could [G]tell he'd had a tough life
By the [C/G]way he sat and stared
And [C]me, I'd come to push and shove
So [G]I pulled up a chair
We [G]talked of roads untraveled
We [C/G]talked of love untrue
Of [C]strings that come unraveled
We were [G]kings and kindred fools
And [Am]just when I'd hit bottom
That [D]old man raised his glass
And said at [Am]least we had our chances
There's [D]those who never have
Chorus:
So [C]here's to all the [D]soldiers
Who have [G]ever [D/F#]died in [Em]vain
The [Am]insane locked up [D]in themselves
The hom[G]eless down on M[G]ai[-]n [Am] [-] [G/B] [-] [C]
To [C]those who stand on [D]empty shores
And [Bm]spit against the [C]wind [C] [-] [G/B] [-] [Am]
And [Am]those who [G/B]wait [C]forever
For ships that don't come [G]in

[G] [C/G] [Cm] [G]
Verse 2:
He said it's [G]only life's illusions
That [C/G]bring us to this bar
To [C]pick up these old crutches
And [G]compare each other's scars
'Cuz the [G]things we're calling heartaches
Hell, they're [C/G]hardly worth our time
We [C]bitch about a dollar
When there's [G]those without a dime.
And as he [Am]ordered one last round, he said
I [D]guess we can't [C]complain [-] [G/B] [-] [Am]
[Am]God made life a gamble
And [D]we're still in the game.
[Repeatchorus]
