[Intro]
G G4 G Em Em6 Em Am Asus4 Am D Dsus2 D
[Verse 1]
G Please Don't go Daddy G4 G As she blocked the door Em I gave her a hug Em6 Em As my heart fell to the floor Am She turned to her Mama Asus4 Am with tears in her eyes D Does he have to go Dsus2 D I hate saying goodbye
[Verse 2]
G Look at me little one G4 G I said to her sweet Em I'll be home soon Em6 Em Don't you worry 'bout me Am But Daddy's a soldier Asus4 Am Got a job to do D Keeping the world safe Dsus2 D For me and you
[Chorus 1]
C D A soldiers life can be hard sometimes G Em leaving the ones you love so far behind Am Never knowing if you'll D Em Em ever really come home C But it's inside us all D We got a job to do G Keeping the peace Em For me and you Am Praying to God D G G That we'll all make it back home
[Verse 3]
G G4 G Sharing a bunker With my buddy Stan Em Em6 Em Three tours together, just a hell of a man Am Asus4 Am He was married twice with 3 boys and a girl D Dsus2 D They were his life, they were his whole world
[Verse 4]
G G4 G Fire reigned down we were being attacked Em Em6 Em He threw me down and took one in the back Am Asus4 Am Another went off and took his leg D Dsus2 D I pulled him closer, this is what he said
[Chorus 2]
C D A soldiers life can be hard sometimes G Em leaving the ones you love so far behind Am Never knowing if you'll D Em Em ever really come home C But it's inside us all D We got a job to do G Keeping the peace Em For me and you Am I pray to God D G G But I don't think I'll make it back home
[Bridge]
Am Em I called his wife, I cried with his kids Am Em He saved my life, that's what he did Am C D We'll go home together but we'll ride apart
[Verse 5]
G G4 G I got off the plane I walked down the hall Em Em6 Em It's seems so surreal, my head is still in a fog Am Asus4 Am I looked all around and what did I see? D Dsus2 D My honey and baby girl waiting for me G G4 G I scooped her up and I held her high Em Em6 Em Now I'm the one with a tear in his eye Am Asus4 Am I held her tight don't ever wanna let go D Dsus2 D I whispered to her cause she needs to know
[Chorus 3]
C D A soldiers life can be hard sometimes G Em leaving the ones you love so far behind Am Never knowing if you'll D Em ever really come home C But it's inside us all D We got a job to do G Keeping the peace Em For me and you Am Now I thank God D G That I made it back home
