Intro: C 

(Faith) 

I knew who he was when I took his name 
                                                 F       Dm7   C 
But somehow knowing, is just not the same late at night 

He knows the danger, but he does what he does 
                                              F  
He calls it duty, but I call it love, so here I am 
           Dm7 
While he's gone to some foreign land 


(Both) C Dm7 And I cry, 'cause I'm all alone C F And the night gets so cold and long G Am Dm And I try not to think he won't come home F C But I'm sleeping with the telephone
Instrumental: C (Reba) The yellow ribbon on my neighbour's gate F Dm7 C Always reminds me that someone's awake just like me I hear the sirens and I watch the news F He laughs and leaves with his gun and his blue uniform Dm7 And I pray god keeps him safe from harm
(Both) C Dm7 And I cry, 'cause I'm all alone C F And the night gets so cold and long G Am Dm F And I try not to think he won't come home____ Eb But I'm sleeping with the telephone
Bridge: (Reba) F I lose him in my darkest dreams (Faith) Eb And my blood runs cold and my heart skips a beat (Reba) F So I get up, I can't take anymore (Both) Dm7 Sometimes I hate how much I love him C Dm C F But everyday I love him more (Both) C Am Dm F And I try not to think he won't come home____ C But I'm sleeping with the telephone OUTRO: (Faith) Something awakes me from where he should be I reach for him The telephone rings
