Em, D, C, C, G, D, C, C, G, stop, G 

G                                       C
The moon lights up over the battlefield now,

                           Gstyle='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
With a blistering heat somehowstyle='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
 
                             D
Lifeless, limp and broken hearts are dead,
 
                                  C
I should have just stayed home instead
 
          G
Stayed alive.
 
 
G
We'll letter arrives
 
G                           C
It glistens’ in mothers eyes

                            Gstyle='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
She wonders where when and why
 
                                 D
She could have tucked him in his bed,
 
                                C
With a kiss on the cheek and his head
 
           G        
He'd stay alive
 
 
(Chorus)
 
Em                    D                C                       G
Well the moon and the stars can't cast shadows on what is wrong
 
                 D               C
Well our boys are dead, they’ve been mislead.
 
          G (stop)
Nothing more
 
 
G                                               C
The sun wakes up, bring sparkles in the morning light,
 
                              Gstyle='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>                                  D
Rubs her belly bows her head to cry, she lost him before they were wed
 
                                   C               G
But he’s there in her heart and her head, he’ll stay alive
 
 
Chorus) X2
 
Em                    D                C                       G
Well the moon and the stars can't cast shadows of what is wrong
 
                 D               C
Well our boys are dead, they’ve been mislead.
 
          G (stop second time)
Nothing more
 
 
G                                          C
The moon lights up over the battlefield now.
