Sleeping With The Telephone
TUNING: Drop D
CAPO: 5th Fret
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
CHORUS:
(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
CHORUS:
(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
