Bm______________________D
I've been sleeping outside your bedroom door

_______G__________________________Em
I've been waiting permission to fight in your private war

Bm____________________D
I've lost track but still your mother's keeping score

G_______________________Em____________Bm
So tell me who is winning and who I'm fighting for

 

chorus: D____________A__________Bm
But don't try to seat me in the Loser's Section

G__________________________________Em
Next to the guy who wanted to die when he failed to pass inspection

Just file my name under "A" for Affection

____G_______________________Em
The only promise I ever made in the House of Rejection

Bm__________________________D
I've gotten too dirty out there on the battlefield

_G_______________________________Em
I lost my sword and was injured when they broke my shield

Bm______________________________D
I should have been captured or better yet even killed

_______G________________________Em______Bm
Than to come home empty-handed and expect to be healed

The only promise I ever made in the House of Rejection

The joker has been replaced by a young recruit

He's working his way up the ladder and he's got loot

Bm__________________________D
I hope that he does well although I don't give a hoot

As he pushes aside the picture of us with his brand new polished boot
