Verse 1:
C
You live in letters sent with
shaky hands and circumstances
Em
I bet you never thought your
life could turn so tragic
C
A never ending summer in
the sand is not vacation
Pre-Chorus
Am C
I swear I saw my life flash
Em
before my eyes as the waves
D Am
came crashing down I saw
C
reflections of your face
Em
up in the sky as the shots
D
fired before you heard a sound
C
What's it feel like to be alone?
Em
The one you love is across the ocean
D
You'll never know if he's coming home
C Em
The firefight dear it isn't over
Verse 2:

You spend your nights drinking
alone waiting for phone calls
Em
I bet you never thought your
life could seem so long

I'd walk the ocean floor
so I could bring you home

Am C
I swear I saw my life flash
Em
before my eyes as the waves

came crashing down I saw

reflections of your face

You'll never know if he's coming home
