Transcribed by: Eddie Garcia I hope I got it right, It sounds pretty good when I play it!!! D5 G5 Shelley's at the kitchen table, cup of coffee and the morning paper D5 B5 G5 He walks in she's so surprised, to see the tears in his eyes D5 G5 He says I love you I'm so sorry, but bigger things are waiting for me D5 B5 G5 A5 And I can't take this anymore... D5 B5 G5 A5 I pay the bills, watch tv, day in day out the same routine D5 B5 G5 A5 I mow the grass, fix the leak just to fix it again D5 B5 A5 G5 We go to church go to work, so picture perfect that it hurts D5 B5 A5 G5 D5 I feel like I'm trapped inside this ordinary life. D5 G5 Shelley's at the kitchen table, crayons and construction paper D5 B5 G5 Hey mom look what I drew, it's a picture of me and you D5 Then at night when she says their prayers G5 She runs her fingers through his hair D5 B5 G5 A5 So thankful for every day... (chorus) D5 B5 G5 A5 They pay their bills, watch tv, day in day out it's all they need D5 B5 G5 A5 They mow the grass, fix the leak just to fix it again D5 BM A5 G5 They go to church, go to school, everyday it's something new D5 B5 A5 G5 D5 Precious are the days as they go by, in their ordinary lives. B5 A5 G5 Phone rings he's calling from the airport A5 D5 It's midnight he's all alone again G5 D5 B5 A5 He'says I can't believe how much I've missed G5 A5 And what I wouldn't give... (chorus) D5 B5 G5 A5 To pay the bills, watch tv, day in day out the same routine D5 B5 G5 A5 To mow the grass, fix the leak just to fix it again D5 B5 A5 G5 To go to church, go to work I can't tell you how this hurts D5 B5 A5 G5 D5 I miss my son I miss my wife, and my ordinary life!
