Intro.:  |(D) |(G/D) |(D) |(G/D)

He (D)almost forgot how to drive over here, while he (A)tried to survive a year over there
(Bm)Some young punk just flipped him off and (G)run him off of the road
(D)He just turned 22 last week in the (A)back of a Stryker somewhere in Tecreat
He (Bm)never thought he'd live to be this (G)old
It's crazy being home, (D) (G) it's crazy being home

He (D)stepped off a plane, feels like yesterday, they were (A) waving flags and signs with his name
They (Bm)said they were proud for what he'd done, if (G)they only knew what he had become
The (D)girl he loved, she swore she would wait, but (A)he came home to a cold empty place.
Had a (Bm)burger today, got a new cell (G)phone, it's crazy being home (D)

(Chorus)
(G) The stars don't look the same, (Bm)he still answers to his name
(D)It's ok, something just ain't (A)right
You (G)try to fight for what you love, but (Bm)his young eyes have seen too much
Till you (F#m)been where he's been, you wouldn't (A) understand
I hope you (G)never have to, my friend

Inst.:  |(D) |(A) |(Bm) |(G) |(F#m) |(A)

(D)He got to call us back on a plane, to (A)where he belongs, it might sound insane
But his (Bm)brothers are there, they can't fight this a-(G)lone
So they (D)dropped him right there in the blood red sand, his (A)best friends is locked and loaded in his hands
And the (Bm)sergeant yells, "Boys, it's time to (G)go," and he thought, "It's crazy being home"

Outro.:  |(D) |(G/D) |(D) |(G/D) |(D) |(G/D) It's crazy being |(D)home |(G)/D |
         |(D) |(G/D) It's crazy being home |(D) |(G/D) |
         |(D) |(G/D) It's crazy being home |
         |(D) |(G/D) It's crazy being home | ---to fade
