Dm Am C Dm Am C Dm Am C Dm Am C
[Verse 1]
Dm Am C Dm Am C
I'm a white man livin' in a white man's world
Dm Am C Dm Am C
Under our roof is a baby girl
Gm Dm F Gm Dm F
I thought this world could be her's one day
Dm Am C Dm Am C
But her momma knew better
[Verse 2]
Dm Am C Dm Am C
I'm a white man livin' in a white man's town
Dm Am C Dm Am C
Wanna take a shot of cocaine and burn it down
Gm Dm F Gm Dm F
momma wants to change that Nashville sound
Dm Am C Dm Am C
But they're never gonna let her
[Chorus]
Gm A# Am Dm D2 Dm
There's no such thing as someone else's war
Gm A# Am Dm Am C
Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for
Gm A# Am Dm Am C
Still breathin' it's not too late
Gm A# Am A
We're all carryin' one big burden, sharin' one fate
[Verse 3]
Dm Am C Dm Am C
I'm a white man livin' on a white man's street
Dm Am C Dm Am C
I've got the bones of the red man under my feet
Gm Dm F Gm Dm F
The highway runs through their burial grounds
Dm Am C Dm Am C
Past the oceans of cotton
[Verse 4]
Dm Am C Dm Am C
I'm a white man lookin' in a black man's eyes
Dm Am C Dm Am C
Wishin' I'd never been one of the guys
Gm Dm F Gm Dm F
Who pretended not to hear another white man's joke
Dm Am C Dm Am C
Oh, the times ain't forgotten
[Chorus]
Gm A# Am Dm D2 Dm
There's no such thing as someone else's war
Gm A# Am Dm Am C
Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for
Gm A# Am Dm Am C
You're still breathin' it's not too late
Gm A# Am A
We're all carryin' one big burden, sharin' one fate

[Verse 5]
Dm Am C Dm Am C
I'm a white man livin' in a white man's nation
Dm Am C Dm Am C
I think the man upstairs must'a took a vacation
Gm Dm F Gm Dm F
I still have faith, but I don't know why
Dm Am C Dm Am C
maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
Dm Am C Dm
maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
