Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
Babies dying
Families crying
Your never a winner in this game
Lives are taken
Hearts are broken
And nothing will ever be the same
Chorus
Hold them, show them that you care
Love them, one day they wont be there
Don't hold back
'Cause once there gone
Theres no sayin'
They'll be coming home
But there is always hope
Verse
Forever, it was always a dream of mine
Until the news came and crushed my life
My heart, our plans, and everything we had
That day, mistakes, they all amount the same
Until they took your life away
And left mine here to stay
Chorus
Hold them, show them that you care
Love them, one day they wont be there
Don't hold back
'Cause once there gone
Theres no sayin'
They'll be coming home
But there is always hope
Verse
I might say I'm ok
But inside I'm dying
Then I think of your face
And remember the words you'd say
"Baby I'll love you, miss you
But Iraq needs me too
I'll be looking towards the day we say 'I do'
I hope you miss me too"
Thats what you have to do
Chorus
Hold them, show them that you care
Love them, one day they wont be there
Don't hold back
'Cause once there gone
Theres no sayin'
They'll be coming home
But there is always hope
