(pre verse)

D# A# G# F  G# F  A#   X2

(verse)

D#   A#       G#       F           G#          F            A#
Just got the postal package from my wife and kids
D#  A#         G#         F             G#               F         A#
It brings me comfort while I'm stuck in this desert mess
       D#               A#        G#              F
But don't get me wrong, perform my mission
        G#          F              A#
Just sounding off on my homesick condition
D#       A#        G#             F         G#       F            A#
Got to get out, a short timer, my heart it begs for home

(chous)

F
I got to go back to the world
G#
Back to my girl
D#                              A#
Back to my family and kids
F
Have to go and see my home again
G#
Don't want my life to end
D#
Before my time is due

(verse, same as first one)

Seen many a firefight since we deployed out here
Learned how to survive with my friends
They're focus, adrenaline and fear
But the odds haunt me, hope I don't get hit
Be that body with a flag adorned to it
I'm gonna make it, the short timer, hellbent on going home

(chorus)

I got to go back to the world
Back to my girl
Back to my family and kids
Have to go and see my home again
Don't want my life to end
Before my time is due

(Bridge)

D#
I'm not a policy maker
G#
Just a sworn-in order taker
F                      G#       A#
Doing my best to stay alive
D#
I'm gonna make it
G#
To conus real soon
F                               G#                A#
Hope some days still lie ahead for me


D# A# G# F# G# F  A# X2

(chorus)

I got to go back to the world
Back to my girl
Back to my family and kids
Have to go and see my home again
Don't want my life to end
Before my time is due

(outro)
                    F                          G#
I've gotta go back
                           D#                       A#
Too short to turn back
               F                               G#
Gotta go back
                 D#
Back to the world again
