Reba McEntire - Sleeping With The Telephone (Duet with Faith Hill) 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
