Intro: C majorC

(Faith)

I knew who he was when I took his name
                         FF    Dm7Dm7  C majorC
But somehow knowing, is just not the same late at night

He knows the danger, but he does what he does
                       FF
He calls it duty, but I call it love, so here I am
      Dm7Dm7
While he's gone to some foreign land

(Both)
    C majorC       Dm7Dm7
And I cry, 'cause I'm all alone
     C majorC      FF
And the night gets so cold and long
    G+G    A minorAm          DmDm
And I try not to think he won't come home
    FF            C majorC
But I'm sleeping with the telephone


Instrumental: C majorC


(Reba)

The yellow ribbon on my neighbour's gate
                         FF  Dm7Dm7  C majorC
Always reminds me that someone's awake just like me

I hear the sirens and I watch the news
                         FF
He laughs and leaves with his gun and his blue uniform
   Dm7Dm7
And I pray god keeps him safe from harm

(Both)
    C majorC       Dm7Dm7
And I cry, 'cause I'm all alone
     C majorC      FF
And the night gets so cold and long
    G+G    A minorAm         DmDm   FF
And I try not to think he won't come home____
                 Eb MajorEb
But I'm sleeping with the telephone


Bridge:
(Reba)
              FF
I lose him in my darkest dreams

(Faith)
                       Eb MajorEb
And my blood runs cold and my heart skips a beat

(Reba)
               FF
So I get up, I can't take anymore

(Both)
      Dm7Dm7
Sometimes I hate how much I love him
              C majorC  DmDm  C majorC  FF
But everyday I love him more


(Both)
    C majorC    A minorAm         DmDm   FF
And I try not to think he won't come home____
                 C majorC
But I'm sleeping with the telephone


OUTRO:
(Faith)
Something awakes me from where he should be
I reach for him
The telephone rings
