[Verse]
        Ab                        
I could tell he'd had a tough life
       Ebm7           Eb    
By the way he sat and stared
Db                               
And me I'd come to push and shove
Ab                    
So I pulled up a chair
   Ab                        
We talked of roads untraveled
Absus4                  
We talked of love untrue
Db                            
Of strings that come unraveled
        Ab                     
We were kings and kindred fools
Bbm7                        
And just when I'd hit bottom
Ebsus4                  Eb   
That old man raised his glass
    Bbm7                               
And said at least we've had our chances
Eb                          
There's those who never have


[Chorus]
Db                   Eb      
So here's to all the soldiers
    Ab        Eb      Fm  
Who have ever died in vain
Bbm Bbm7             Eb           
The insane locked up in themselves
Ab                       
The homeless down on Main
Db                    Eb          
To those who stand on empty shores
    Cm7              Db  
And spit against the wind
              Ab   Db     
And those who wait forever
                     Ab      Db Ab
For ships that don't come in ■  ■ 


[Verse]
        Ab                        
He said it's only life's illusions
Ebm7                     
That bring us to this bar
        Absus4 Db                   
To pick ■      up these old crutches
    Ab                        
And compare each other's scars
           Ab                             
'cause the things we're calling heartaches
                    Absus4        
Hell they're hardly worth our time
Db                     
We bitch about a dollar
             Ab                  
When there's those without a dime
       Bbm                      
And as he ordered one last round
        Eb                       
He said I guess we can't complain
Bbm7                  
God made life a gamble
    Eb                     
And we're still in the game


[Chorus]
Db                   Eb      
So here's to all the soldiers
    Ab        Eb      Fm7 
Who have ever died in vain
Bbm7                 Eb           
The insane locked up in themselves
Ab                       
The homeless down on Main
Db                    Eb          
To those who stand on empty shores
Cm                   Db  
And spit against the wind
Bbm           Ab   Db     
And those who wait forever
                     Ab     
For ships that don't come in
Bbm7 Bbm       Ab   Db     
And  those who wait forever
                     Ab     
For ships that don't come in
