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...

(chorus)
           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!
