Standard (EADGBE)
Oh the men, they come to me, with their sad faces;
They ask me, what they should do.
They ask me why my smile, why it never fades.
I just tell them, I miss someone, too.
We haven't had a night's sleep in so long,
That I can't remember when I last prayed.
And if they ask me why I'm smiling,
I'll tell them I've got you;
I'll tell them I've got you for me.
/CHORUS/
Well they say it takes a man to shoot a rifle,
Well then I'd rather be called a boy.
And they say it takes a man to not be homesick,
Well then I must confess...
/INTRO RIFF/
/VERSE TWO/
Oh the men, they keep dreaming,
They tell me all about how much they miss you.
Well the men, they don't know it -
They don't know half of it;
They're going to meet you one day...
/BRIDGE/
I've been here waiting, I've been twiddling my thumbs,
Hoping, one day you'd open the door...
Well that door it finally opened,
And I saw your eyes. That's when, I started to cry.
Because I never knew till then, and I'll never forget it now;
I love you.
Yes I never knew till then, and I'll never forget it now;
I love you.
/INTRO RIFF/
