I hope I got it right, It sounds pretty good when I play it!!!
D G
Shelley's at the kitchen table, cup of coffee and the morning paper
D Bm G
He walks in she's so surprised, to see the tears in his eyes
D G
He says I love you I'm so sorry, but bigger things are waiting for me
D Bm G A
And I can't take this anymore...
D Bm G A
I pay the bills, watch tv, day in day out the same routine
D Bm G A
I mow the grass, fix the leak just to fix it again
D Bm A G
We go to church go to work, so picture perfect that it hurts
D Bm A G D
I feel like I'm trapped inside this ordinary life.
D G
Shelley's at the kitchen table, crayons and construction paper
D Bm G
Hey mom look what I drew, it's a picture of me and you
D
Then at night when she says their prayers
G
She runs her fingers through his hair
D Bm G A
So thankful for every day...
(chorus)
D Bm G A
They pay their bills, watch tv, day in day out it's all they need
D Bm G A
They mow the grass, fix the leak just to fix it again
D BM A G
They go to church, go to school, everyday it's something new
D Bm A G D
Precious are the days as they go by, in their ordinary lives.
Bm A G
Phone rings he's calling from the airport
A D
It's midnight he's all alone again
G D Bm A
He'says I can't believe how much I've missed
G A
And what I wouldn't give...
(chorus)
D Bm G A
To pay the bills, watch tv, day in day out the same routine
D Bm G A
To mow the grass, fix the leak just to fix it again
D Bm A G
To go to church, go to work I can't tell you how this hurts
D Bm A G D
I miss my son I miss my wife, and my ordinary life!
