G5   A5                D5   C5 
  I don't have much to say 
G5             A5             D5   C5 
  Thought I'd call you up any-way 
G5      A5       D5    
  Just to try to show you the way 
B5          E5 
That I feel today 
      F5         C5 
Oh, I miss you ba-by 
 

G5   A5            D5   C5 
  I sure am on the road 
G5         A5              D5   C5 
  I don't need to say much more 
G5          A5                 D5    
  Just the same old well-known stranger 
B5          E5 
That I was before 
              F5         C5 
It seems like yesterday now 
 

G5   A5            D5   C5 
  Daddy's all gone 
G5   A5            D5   C5 
  Only halfway home 
G5          A5                 D5    
  He's holding on to the telephone 
B5        E5          F5             C5 
  Saying, Please don't let the show go on. 
D5 G5 - A5 B5 C5 C5 
 

There's a bus every other hour 
G5 A5 D5 C5 
There's even the midnight train 
G5 A5 D5 C5 
But that don't leave me the power 
G5 A5 D5 
To see your face again 
B5 E5 } 
It's not that simple 
F5 C5 
 

You see, there's a room full of smiling faces 
G5 A5 D5 C5 
There's a man standin' by the door 
G5 A5 D5 C5 
Says it's time to change our places 
G5 A5 D5 
And get down on the floor 
B5 E5 } 
Kill 'em , baby 
F5 C5 
 

Daddy's all gone 
G5 A5 D5 C5 
He's just halfway home 
G5 A5 D5 C5 
He's holding on to the microphone 
G5 A5 D5 
Singing, Please don't make the show go on. 
B5 E5 F5 C5
