G          D   Em              Cadd9 G          D   Em               Cadd9


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


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


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


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


[Chorus 3]
Cadd9               G                  D               G             Cadd9
Yeah these are the men and women that keep us living safe inside our homes,
            G                    D                         Em                      Cadd9
And if you took one minute your head would be spinning to see the things that they know,
     G                       D                    Em                  Cadd9
So stop what you're doing,  walk up to him,  and tell 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              Cadd9 G          D   Em               Cadd9    G
Stop when you see a uniform.
