[Verse 1]
[G]I w[Abm]on't[G][Gm][G][Gm]
[D]be[G]
home tonight for [Gm]dinner, darling
You [G]and the kids can make it on your [D]own
Little [Gm]Bud can s[Abm]ay the[G] grace like I [C]do
When [G]I g[D]et my work done, I'll be h[G]ome
[Gm]One last sip of coff[Abm]ee,
[Gm]then he [D]buckles on [Gm]his gun
Bending down,
kissed Jamie off [D]to school
Turn[Gm]ing in the doorway,
he remem[D]bers and says,
[Gm]Hon, this could be the day,
[D]so just stay coo[Gm]l
[Eb]Walk[Abm]ed out to the squad car,
and he soon [Eb]was on his way
[Abm]Checked downtown to see
which way [D#]to hop
[Abm]Back home in the kitchen,
washing [D#]dishes with [G#m]a sigh,
she wished out loud
her man was [Eb]not a [Abm]cop.
[Ab]I won't be home tonight for dinner,
[Abm]darling,
[Am]you [Abm]and th[Ab]e kids can
make it [F]on your [Eb]own.
[Ab]Little Bud can say [Eb]the grace like [D]I do,
and [Eb]when I get my work done,
I'll be [Abm]home.
His day was spent in planning
for the [Eb]raid to come that [Abm]night
One by one the pieces fell [D#]in place
[Abm]Strangely discontented,
feeling an[D#]ger mixed with f[G#m]right
She warmed the meatloaf [Eb]up
and but said [Abm]grace
The [Am]raid went off like clockwork,
each po[E]liceman knew the plan
[Am]The white stuff made
a million dollar [F]haul[E]
[F]Just [Am]three shots were fired
and [F]the cops lost just one [Am]man
And stumbling out of bed, she took the call
I [A]won't be home tonight for dinner,
[Am]darling[A]
You and the kids can make it on your [E]own
[A]Little Bud can say [D]the grace like I do
When [E]I get my work done,
I'll be [Am]home
There's lots of guys like Jim
around the country
Doing work that never was much [E]fun
[Am]Not just pounding beats
and writing tickets
More and more their [F]work requires a [Am]gun
[F]So nex[Bbm]t time that
you see a cop saluting
[Bb]Tip your hat, maybe shake his [F]hand
Just [Bb]like you and me,
he's got a fam[Bbm]ily
Just like [Bb]us, his [F#]family needs[F] their m[Bb]an
[B]I w[Bb]on't be home tonight for dinner,
darling
You and the kids can make it on your [F]own
[Bb]Little Bud can say the grace like [Eb]I do
And [F]when I get my work done,
I'll be [Gm]home[Bb][Eb]
Won't be home, won't [Eb]be home
[Abm]Won't be home, [Eb]won't be home
Won't be home, won't be home
