[Verse 1]
C
  You live in letters sent with
shaky hands and circumstances
Em
  I bet you never thought your
life could turn so tragic
C
  A never ending summer in
the sand is not vacation


[Refrain 1]
Am                      C
  I swear I saw my life flash
                      Em
before my eyes as the waves
     D            Am
came crashing down  I saw
                    C
reflections of your face
                     Em
up in the sky as the shots
        D
fired before you heard a sound


[Chorus 1]
C
  What's it feel like to be alone?
Em
  The one you love is across the ocean
D
  You'll never know if he's coming home
C                                 Em
  The firefight dear it isn't over


[Verse 2]
C
  You spend your nights drinking
alone waiting for phone calls
Em
  I bet you never thought your
life could seem so long
C
  I'd walk the ocean floor
so I could bring you home


[Refrain 2]
Am                      C
  I swear I saw my life flash
                      Em
before my eyes as the waves
     D            Am
came crashing down  I saw
                    C
reflections of your face
                     Em
up in the sky as the shots
        D
fired before you heard a sound


[Chorus 2]
C
  What's it feel like to be alone?
Em
  The one you love is across the ocean
D
  You'll never know if he's coming home
C                                 Em
  The firefight dear it isn't over


[Bridge] JT Woodruff Speaks
C
  Sometimes life really isn't fair
D
  And maybe I wished you far
             Em
far from here But all I ever
wanted was for you to care
Em
  All I ever wanted was
to meet you there
C
Sometimes life really isn't fair
    Bm
And maybe I wished you far
             Em
far from here But all I ever
wanted was for you to care
Em
  All I ever wanted was
to meet you there
C
Sometimes life really isn't fair
    Bm
And maybe I wished you far
             Em
far from here But all I ever
wanted was for you to care
Em
  All I ever wanted was
to meet you there


[Refrain 3]
Am                      C
  I swear I saw my life flash
                      Em
before my eyes as the waves
     D
came crashing down


[Chorus 3]
C
  What's it feel like to be alone?
Em
  The one you love is across the ocean
D
  You'll never know if he's coming home
C
  The firefight dear it isn't over


[Chorus 4/Outro]
C
  What's it feel like to be alone?
Em
  The one you love is across the ocean
D
  You'll never know if he's coming home
C                                 Em
  The firefight dear it isn't over
