G          D   Em              Cadd9 G          D   

Em               Cadd9


[Verse 1]
  G                        D                      Em   
Stop right there when you see those boots and a uniform
            Cadd9
 coming your way,
     G                   D                       Em  
Get off the cell phone, look 'em in the eye and drop 
             Cadd9
that old briefcase,
        G                  D                Em        
If you want to see what a hero looks like, this might 
         Cadd9
be your chance,
            G                     D                  
Before you go back home to your safe little worlds,  
         Em            Cadd9
Y'all,  Don't you understand.

[Chorus 1]
               G                  D              G   
These are the men and women that keep us living safe 
           Cadd9
inside our homes,
            G                    D                     
And if you took one minute your head would be spinning 
    Em                      Cadd9
to see the things that they know,
     G                       D                    Em  
So stop what you're doing,  walk up to him,  and tell 
                Cadd9
him how much it means.
      Am                           G     Cadd9
That every night,  when you drift off to sleep,
               Am                       G          
They're all across the planet,  making sure you're 
Cadd9
free,
 D                    G          D   Em              
Stop when you see a uniform.
Cadd9 G          D   Em               Cadd9


[Verse 2]
 G                     D                         
Don't ya know who you just walked past with your 
 G             Cadd9
headphones in today,
        G                       D                   
You're all concerned with your own little life just 
 G                   Cadd9
outside the terminal gate,
          G                  D                     Em 
They're coming home from a whole nother world that we 
             Cadd9
know nothing about,
         G                           D                 
So the least we can give them's a standing ovation it's
  Em               Cadd9
 time they hear us shout.

[Chorus 2]
               G                  D              G   
These are the men and women that keep us living safe 
           Cadd9
inside our homes,
            G                    D                     
And if you took one minute your head would be spinning 
    Em                      Cadd9
to see the things that they know,
     G                       D                    Em  
So stop what you're doing,  walk up to him,  and tell 
                Cadd9
him how much it means.
      Am                           G     Cadd9
That every night,  when you drift off to sleep,
               Am                       G          
They're all across the planet,  making sure you're 
Cadd9
free,
 D                    G          D   Em              
Stop when you see a uniform.
Cadd9 G          D   Em               Cadd9


[Chorus 3]
Cadd9               G                  D             
Yeah these are the men and women that keep us living 
  G             Cadd9
safe inside our homes,
            G                    D                     
And if you took one minute your head would be spinning 
    Em                      Cadd9
to see the things that they know,
     G                       D                    Em  
So stop what you're doing,  walk up to him,  and tell 
                Cadd9
him how much it means.
      Am                           G     Cadd9
That every night,  when you drift off to sleep,
         Am                          G     Cadd9       
D  N.C.
They've got it covered,  protecting you and me,
                      G           D   Em              
Stop when you see a uniform.
Cadd9 G          D   Em               Cadd9    G
