Sleeping With The Telephone by Reba McEntire
Key: CC | Capo: 5fr |  Left-Handed 

Intro: C

(Faith)

I knew who he was when I took his name
                                                 F       Dm7   C
But somehow knowing, is just not the same late at night

He knows the danger, but he does what he does
                                              F 
He calls it duty, but I call it love, so here I am
           Dm7
While he's gone to some foreign land


Chorus:
(Both)
        C              Dm7
And I cry, 'cause I'm all alone
         C            F
And the night gets so cold and long
        G        Am                   Dm
And I try not to think he won't come home
        F                        C
But I'm sleeping with the telephone


Instrumental: C


(Reba)

The yellow ribbon on my neighbour's gate
                                                 F    Dm7   C
Always reminds me that someone's awake just like me

I hear the sirens and I watch the news
                                                  F 
He laughs and leaves with his gun and his blue uniform
      Dm7
And I pray god keeps him safe from harm


Chorus:
(Both)
        C              Dm7
And I cry, 'cause I'm all alone
         C            F
And the night gets so cold and long
        G        Am                  Dm     F
And I try not to think he won't come home____
                                 Eb
But I'm sleeping with the telephone


Bridge:
(Reba)
                           F
I lose him in my darkest dreams

(Faith)
                                             Eb
And my blood runs cold and my heart skips a beat

(Reba)
                             F
So I get up, I can't take anymore

(Both)
            Dm7
Sometimes I hate how much I love him
                           C   Dm   C   F
But everyday I love him more


(Both)
        C        Am                  Dm     F
And I try not to think he won't come home____
                                 C
But I'm sleeping with the telephone
