You say that you gotta go now
Leave me here all alone now
That this is bigger than both of us
Ain't worth staying just for love
You say it's for God and country
And some one has to take a stand
You say that you love me
And you'll keep us safe for [Dm7]Uncle Sam
But what about us
What about me
What about kids and [Bm]a family
What about all [Em]that we hoped this life could be
I know you [A7have to [C7]go now
And I won't beg you [A7to [C7]stay
I can deal with lonely nights
And wait here patently
I know you're out there fighting
And you [A7know I have faith
Boy it better be [Am]you [A7that comes back to [C7]me someday
Instead of a folded Flag
Got a postcard from over seas
Helps to [C7]know you're thinking of me
I talked to [C7]your ma' today
She said to [C7]tell you [A7everything's okay
I'm tɾying not to [C7]cry as I send this mail
Or knowing if you're alive or dead
The news makes it look like [F]a living hell
So I can't get it out of my [A]head
But what about us
What about me
What about kids and [Bm]a family
What about all [Em]that we hoped this life could be
I know you [A7have to [C7]go now
And I won't beg you [A7to [C7]stay
I can deal with lonely nights
And wait here patently
I know you're out there fighting
And you [A7know I have faith
Boy it better be [Am]you [A7that comes back to [C7]me someday
Instead of a folded Flag
I'm praying that you'll walk through that door
Cause we got [Fm7]so much to [C7]live for
I need to [C7]see you [A7smile again
I know we're gonna walk hand [Bm]in hand
I know you [A7have to [C7]go now
And I won't beg you [A7to [C7]stay
I can deal with lonely nights
And wait here patently
I know you're out there fighting
And you [A7know I have faith
Boy it better be [Am]you [A7that comes back to [C7]me someday
Instead of a folded Flag
