[Verse 1]
        C
I don't do it for the money
                      F
I don't do it for the fame
        G
I don't do it so I can see the bright lights
             C
Spell out my name
           F                        G
But I'd be lyin' if I said I didn't wanna hear my songs
     Am
On a jukebox in a jukebox kinda bar
          F
Guess I'm just another soldier
G                  C
 Fightin' a war of art


[Verse 2]
      C
And I love the pretty girls and how they sway
               F
In rhythm when I play
         G
And I'll take a free cold beer everytime
                  C
They set one on a stage
            F                          G
And if that was the only reason, why I do it
           Am
Then why I do it wouldn't get me very far
        F
I guess you can't pick your battles
G                          C
 When you fight the war of art


[Chorus]
F Am      G                              F     Am  G
     It's hard to shine in a sky full of stars
                 F   Am  G
Still be who you are
                          C    Am  F  G
When you fight the war of art


[Verse 3]
     C
If a bullet was a song, and this guitar was a gun
              F
I'd knock 'em dead
G
Most nights it feels like I'm the one
                 C
Up here bleedin' red
            F                               G
And I ain't tryin' to hurt nobody, I'm just hopin' that my broken
          Am
Puts some hope, in another broken heart
          F
Yeah, I'm just another soldier
G                  C
 Fightin' a war of art


[Chorus]
F Am      G                              F     Am  G
     It's hard to shine in a sky full of stars
           F         Am  G
Still be who you are
                          C
When you fight the war of art


[Outro]
        C
I don't do it for the money
                       F
I don't do it for the fame
