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!
