Stop When You See A Uniform

B, F#, B, E

[Verse 1]

B                                 
Stop right there when you see 
       F#
those boots
          G#m                      
And a uniform coming your way
               E

B                                 
Get off the cell phone, your fancy
                  F#
 ipad
                    G#m   B       
And drop that old briefcase
     E

B                                 
If you want to see what a hero 
      F#
looks like
G#m                              E
This might be your chance
                       B
Before you go back home
                    F#
to your safe little worlds
                 G#m               
Y'all don't you understand
    E



[Chorus]
                              B
These are the men and women
       F#                    B    
that keep us living safe inside 
                              E
our homes

                          B        
and if you took one minute your 
                F#
head would be spinning
    G#m                            
to see the things that they know
              E

       B                           
just stop what you're doing, walk 
         F#
up to him
G#m                               
and tell him how much it means
      E

        C#m                        
that every night when you drift off
            B              E
 to sleep
they're all across the planet 
C#m                       B      
making sure you're free
    E

    F#                             
so stop when you see a uniform
 B                     F#   B   

G#m   B   E



[Verse 2]

B                                 
Don't ya know who you just walked 
           F#
past

                 B                 
With your headphones in today
               E

        B                          
You're all concerned with your own 
              F#
little life
            B                      
Just outside the terminal gate
         E

                     B          
They're coming home from a whole 
                         F#
nother world
              G#m                  
That we know nothing about
       E

           B                     
So the least we can give them's a 
                                  F#
standing ovation
      G#m                          
It's time they hear us shout
 E



[Second Chorus]
Cause these are the men and women
 B

       F#                   B     
that keep us living safe inside 
                  E
our homes
                 B                 
and if you took one minute your 
                 F#
head would be spinning
                B                  
to see the things that they know
           E

           B                       
just stop what you're doing, walk 
        F#
up to him
B                                 
and tell him how much it means
      E

       C#m                      
that every night when you drift 
G#m                         E
off to sleep
                 C#m               
they've got it covered, protecting 
            G#m         E
you and me
F#                                
so stop when you see a uniform
  B
