[Verse 1]
D             D7sus4          | 
Patiently she stares down the 
D5  D7sus4 |
runway
  D                  D7sus4      
Today's the day that he is coming 
| D5  D7sus4 |
home
D           D7sus4          | D5 
 Seems like he's been gone a life
     D7sus4 |
 time
      D              D7sus4       
And a life time is a long time to 
  | D5    D |
be gone


[Bridge]
A                            
 But there are songs that need 
  D
singing
A7                                 
 And there are things that must be 
D
done
F         Fsus4                   
 There are thoughts that still 
F        Fsus4
need thinking
F             Fsus4           |  
 And there are wars that must be 
Asus4  |  A  |
won      (break)


[Verse 2]
D             D7sus4             
He was just a boy when they sent 
D5         D7sus4
for him
    D                D7sus4     
And overnight turned him into a 
D5    D7sus4
man
D        D7sus4           | D5   
 Proudly he had served his 
   D7sus4 |
country
     D             D7sus4
In a war he didn't seem to 
      | D5    D |
understand


[Bridge]
A                                 
 The flag still waves, his war is 
D
over
A7                         D
 He'll never have to kill again
F          Fsus4               F
 And as she waits, she thinks it
     Fsus4
 over
   F                Fsus4        | 
Is winning worth the prize we pay 
 Asus4  |  A  |
to win?    (break)


[Verse 3]
D                  D7sus4         
 Her thoughts keep wandering to 
 | D5      D7sus4 |
his childhood
     D            D7sus4      
When all his hand grenades were 
        | D5      D7sus4 |
merely toys
     D               D7sus4       
And "war" was just a game that he 
   | D5      D7sus4 |
was playing
     D                 D7sus4      
With plastic guns like other little
| D5    D |
 boys


[Bridge]
A                            D
 And ev'ry day when play was over
A7                         D
 He'd put his little toys away
F            Fsus4            F 
 And she'd be standing, waiting 
      Fsus4
for him
F             Fsus4       |  
 The way she's waiting here 
Asus4  |  A  |
today      (break)


[Verse 4]
D       D7sus4               
 As the plane stops she starts 
 | D5      D7sus4 |
thinking
     D                 D7sus4   
Will he still look the way he did 
  | D5      D7sus4 |
before?
D                   D7sus4       
 Or will his eyes reflect the 
    | D5      D7sus4 |
pain of killing
     D                   D7sus4   
Like most young men when they come
          | D5    D |
 home from war?


[Bridge]
A                                 
 These last few minutes seem like 
D
hours
A7                         D
 She tries her best not to cry
F                Fsus4           
 But there's that hearse filled 
     F       Fsus4
up with flowers
F      Fsus4       |  Asus4  |  A  |
 Did he really have to die?


[Otro]
| D D7sus4 | D5 D7sus4 |
No, no, no, no - no, no, no, no, no
| D D7sus4 | D5 D7sus4 |
No, no, no - no, no
