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
