• Em g Im going to the war so I can feel like a man Not that I didn’t feel holding your hand. I was ashamed; I was the feeling of guilt I was the awkward nights of facing what I felt. Am c g And why don’t I have rights anymore? Am c em Just to fit the feelings, I’ve felt before. Em c g I am a man; I’m going off to war. Am c em So I can remember what I’m for. em g And I remember my father’s fists Hurtling into the sides you grab my wrists. All I wanted was approval I’m not being a man I’m being sinful. Em c g Im going off to war so I can hold your hand, can hold your hand. Im going off to sit not at his left hand, right hand right hand. And god will look on me, look on me not like my father had. Em c em Im going off to be a man, to be man. Am c g And why don’t I have rights anymore? Am c em Just to fit the feelings, I’ve felt before. Em c g I am a man; I’m going off to war. Am c em So I can remember what I’m for.
