G                   D                C9 
It's 2 a.m. and I'm watching you sleeping 
G             D                     C9 
Tomorrow I'll be back out on the road 
G                 D                  C9 
The hardest thing about the life I'm living 
G                D              C9 
Is it's too much time away from home 
 
 
G              D                    C9 
You say you're not sure if you know me anymore 
G                  D                   C9 
Our little girl is growing up more everyday 
G              D         C9              
I say "I love you" as running out the door 
G          D                         C9 
I miss you both more than words can say 
 
G             D                     C9 
Sometimes I feel like I'm walking a tight rope 
G                      D                        C9 
Trying to balance my life with no room for mistakes 
G           D                   C9 
To stay on top, thats my only hope 
G                  D                     C9 
Somethings always pulling in a different way 
C9                            D 
You find your whole life centered 
                      G 
Around being center stage 
 
 
G             D              C9        
I spend more time on the telephone than singing 
G            D                     C9 
Someone's always gonna make me a star 
G               D                  C9   
It's too much buisness and not enough time playing 
G               D                 C9 
Just give me a stage and my ol' guitar 
 
And I'll go far 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Bridge: 
D 
Well I love my wife and family 
            C9            G 
I love the fans and the music 
D 
Their all Gods gift to me 
           C9             D 
And I give back is how I use them 
 
 
Chorus
