M.I.A.
Avenged Sevenfold

Dm Bb C F-A (x2)

Dm                     
Staring at the carnage
  Bb                             C
Praying that the sun would never rise
        F      A        Dm
Living another day in disguise
      Bb                C          
These feelings can't be right
             F          A     
Lend me your courage to stand up
    Dm     Bb   C       F-A
And fight, on tonight
Dm Bb C F-A            Dm
Ooooo...  stand up and fight 

Dm Bb C Dm Bb C-F-Bb (x2)

Dm                              Bb
   The fighting rages on and on
Bb                                C    F-C
   To challenge me you must be strong
Dm                                   Bb
   I walk your land but don't belong
Bb                                C    F-C
   Two million soldiers can't be wrong 

Dm
   It's no fun but I've been here before 
I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war   
Bb            F             
Not the way I pictured this
  Am            Bb
I wanted better things
Dm
  Some are scared others killing for fun
I shot a mother right in front of her son
Bb                F              
Take this from my consciousness
    Am              Bb
And please erase my dreams

CHORUS
Dm               Bb
Fight for honor, fight for your life 
C                F
Pray to God that our side is right
Gm               Am        Bb
Though we won, I still may lose 
   C
Until I make it home to you 
  Dm              Bb
I see our mothers filled with tears
     C                F
Grew up so fast where did those years go? 
Gm             Am      Bb
Memories won't let you cry
  C
Unless I don't return tonight
Dm Bb C Dm Bb C-F-Bb (x2)

Dm
   So many soldiers on the other side
I take their lives so they can't take mine
Bb                F        
Scared to make it out alive
    Am             Bb
Now murder's all I know
Dm
   Nobody tells me all the reasons we're here
I have my weapon so there's nothing to fear
 Bb           F              
Another day, another life
    Am              Bb
But nothing real to show for

CHORUS

Dm                     
Staring at the carnage
  Bb                             C
Praying that the sun would never rise
        F      C        Dm
Living another day in disguise
      Bb                C          
These feelings can't be right
             F          C     
Lend me your courage to stand up and
Dm    
(fight) Watching the death toll rise
Wondering how I'm alive
           Bb
Strangers' blood on my hands
I've shot all I can
Dm                          
There are no silent nights
Watching your brothers all die
       Bb
To destroy all their plans 
With no thought of me

Dm C          F   C  
No thought of me, No thought of me

Dm                     
Walk the city lonely
Bb                              C
Memories that haunt are passing by
           F          A        Dm
A murderer walks your street tonight
   Bb             C          
Forgive me for my crimes
F         A         Bb
Don't forget that I was so young

Fought so scared in the name of God and country
