st FRET 

Intro: F C F C G C 


Verse: 
 F                       
Riding in the backseat, sipping on a Pepsi  
  G                                             C 
Looking out the window, driving to the bus stop  together  
            F                          
I tell her only three sleeps and I'll be right back  
     G                                               C  
And then we're gonna have a good time when I come to get her 


Pre-Chorus 
       Am             F 
And I call her every single night  
      C              G 
I'll miss her every day  
       Am                 F 
And if she kissed me and waved goodbye  
C                 G 
I could hear her say  


  
         Am    F 
Stay at home, mother  
         C 
Stay at home  
         Am    F 
Stay at home, mother  
         C 
Stay at home 


Verse: 
           F  
I've been working late nights making up for the times  
        G                                        C 
That I wasn't in the crowd cheering out loud at her school plays  
  F 
Tickets to a circus, maybe a new bike  
        G                                           C 
I just want her to know that I love her more than working all day  


Pre-Chorus  
         Am                F 
But the price will never measure up  
    C               G 
To what's inside a box  
        Am                    F 
While I run along around the world  
     C           G 
She tells me to stop  


 
         Am    F 
Stay at home, mother  
         C 
Stay at home  
         Am    F 
Stay at home, mother  
         C 
Stay at home
