C majorC
Welcome to the new guy
C majorC
Squadron is your home
C majorC
Stand up, introduce yourself
    G+G
You'll never be alone
G+G
We are your new family
  G+G
And we want you to know
   C majorC
If we ever get the call to war
 C7C7
I know that you will go

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
    FF
But on further thought
I'm sorry
    FF
We can only take a few
     C majorC
And we decided to bring every swingin' dick except for you
     FF
And we'd love to bring you with us
    FF
But the situation's clear
      C majorC
That you're too god-damn important
    C majorC
To our operations here

Life can disappoint you

I hope that you don't mind

 Bein' the guy we leave behind

  C majorC
Not thirty minutes after
C majorC
All the jets were gone
C majorC
I had been requested
   G+G
To go mow the boss's lawn
G+G
How was I to know
      G+G
This was a fighter pilot's life?
C majorC
Rearranging furniture
C7C7
For the DO's wife


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
 FF
I want to be supportive
     FF
But there has to be a line
    C majorC
And no fuckin' fighter pilot
    C majorC
Does interior design
FF
After several months
       FF
It starts to feel a little strange
 FF  C majorC
I'm beginning to feel pressure
    C majorC
That my duties here will change


🎸 Chorus:
G+G
Life can throw you curveballs
G+G
Maybe it's a sign
G+G              C majorC
 Bein' the guy they left behind

   FF
(Left behind) You made me your substitute
    C majorC
(Left behind) Doin' your duties 'til the time you are enroute

And when I'm talkin' duties I mean every kind
G7G7            C majorC
 I am the guy you left behind

🎸 Verse 3:
C majorC
Squadron will come home
    C majorC
At the beginning of the year

I hope they like surprises
     G+G
When the babies all appear
 G+G
I did just what you asked me
    G+G
When I took care of your wives
    C majorC
Now I'm permanently weaved
     C7C7
Into the fabric of your lives


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
  FF
And someday you'll be thinking
     FF
A-did you make the proper choice?
     C majorC
When your kid is droppin' f-bombs
    C majorC
With a lovely singin' voice.
 FF
(Years from now you'll wonder
     FF
When your kid is such a star
     C majorC
Why he's prematurely balding
    C majorC
And can play a mean guitar)


🎸 Chorus:

You tried to forget it
     G+G
But it's etched into your mind
G+G               C majorC
 Thanks to the guy you left behind


🎸 Outro:
G+G             C majorC   FF C majorC G+G C majorC
