Dm                        Bb                              C

Living another day in disguise.

 to challenge me you must be strong. 
Dm                            Dm   Bb

(the same)
Nobody tells me all the reasons we're here.
I have my weapons so there's nothing to fear.
(Another day, another life, but nothing real to show for)
 
 
Fight for honor, fight for your life
Pray to god that our side is right
Even though we won, I still may lose
Until I make it home to you
I see our mothers filled with tears,
grew up so fast where did those years go?
Memories won't let you cry,
unless I don't return tonight

Good tab. I think the G should be a Gm everywhere.

These are pretty correct, but I just wanted to comment on a couple of mistakes I picked up on. I see our mothers filled with tears, grew up so fast where did those years go? Memories won't let you cry, unless I don't return tonight Dm Bb C... Dm Bb C F C... This should actually be Dm Bb C F Bb As well as, at the end.. F C Dm A murderer walks your streets tonight Bb C F C Forgive me for my crimes; don't forget that I Bb was so young Dm Fought so scared Bb in the name of God C and Country The "in the name of god and country" part should actually be C# in the name of God C and Country I just also realized that, now though i'm not sure whether this is correct or not being as it difficult to make out but, the part in the pre chorus... C Dm So many soldiers on the other side, C Dm I take their lives so they can't take mine. Bb (not a Dm?) F Am Bb (Scared to make it out alive now murder's all I know.) These parts... in the part with brackets "scared to make it out alive...", the first Bb sounds much better as a Dm, and it sounds like that is what is played in the root not during the song. Like I say though, not sure on this one, but when played on acoustic it fits the vocal pattern much better IMO I will put a hold on rating it until I hear back from you because they are good chords so don't wanna penalize your rating for a couple of tiny mistakes :P really sorry if it sounds like I'm being too forward in thinking i'm correct or anything, just didn't wanna make this comment any longer than it had to be haha Thanks for reading and thanks a lot for the chords. Hope this helped (Y)
