B, F#, B, E
[Verse 1]
B F#
Stop right there when you see those boots
G#m E
And a uniform coming your way
B F#
Get off the cell phone, your fancy ipad
G#m B E
And drop that old briefcase
B F#
If you want to see what a hero looks like
G#m E
This might be your chance
B
Before you go back home
F#
to your safe little worlds
G#m E
Y'all don't you understand
[Chorus]
B
These are the men and women
F# B E
that keep us living safe inside our homes
B F#
and if you took one minute your head would be spinning
G#m E
to see the things that they know
B F#
just stop what you're doing, walk up to him
G#m E
and tell him how much it means
C#m B E
that every night when you drift off to sleep
C#m B E
they're all across the planet making sure you're free
F# B F# B G#m B E
so stop when you see a uniform
[Verse 2]
B F#
Don't ya know who you just walked past
B E
With your headphones in today
B F#
You're all concerned with your own little life
B E
Just outside the terminal gate
B F#
They're coming home from a whole nother world
G#m E
That we know nothing about
B F#
So the least we can give them's a standing ovation
G#m E
It's time they hear us shout
[Second Chorus]
B
Cause these are the men and women
F# B E
that keep us living safe inside our homes
B F#
and if you took one minute your head would be spinning
B E
to see the things that they know
B F#
just stop what you're doing, walk up to him
B E
and tell him how much it means
C#m G#m E
that every night when you drift off to sleep
C#m G#m E
they've got it covered, protecting you and me
F# B
so stop when you see a uniform
