Standard Tuning
Capo 2

If you don?t have a capo or simply don?t want to use one then transpose the 
chords 2 half steps up (1 full step). Note: There are certain parts in the 
song where no chords or root notes at all are being played. At these parts, I 
simply list the chord or chords that sticks out most or fits best. 

*The (B) in the bridge is a bass note and is optional.


VERSE 1:

E5               G5             D5
    I pack my bags & say goodbye to my wife
                        C5
For what seems like the millionth time.
E5                    C5              E5
    They said it gets easier, but they lied.
              G5              D5                       C5
She looks at me & says "really baby, I will be just fine,"

But then she looks away so I don't have to see her cry. 
    E5      D5      G5     C5
And that is when I ask myself;

CHORUS:

E5       D5               C5
How am I   supposed to be  everything they expect me to
E5             D5        C5
Be when I feel so alone,  Cause I left my heart at home.
E5        D5               C5
    She needs me, but I know they need me too.
   E5               D5            C5                        E5
So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.

VERSE 2:

E5              G5                  D5
    Really I'm so thankful for the people I meet,
                           C5
The places I've been & the things I've seen,
         E5                        C5                     E5
But when she's not here it doesn't feel like I'm living my dream.
             G5                 D5
I know they say that no one is perfect, 
                              C5
But I swear she's perfect for me
                          E5
And that makes it so much harder to leave.

(Chorus)

BRIDGE:

E5            D5           G5               A5   ( B5 )
    If you miss me, I'm just a phone call away.
          E5         D5           G5   A5   ( B5 )
Please be strong, be strong for me.  

E5                  D5              G5                 A5   ( B5 )
    I need you to show me how to change the inside of me.
       E5               D5         G5       A5     D5    
For my heart, for their sake, Be strong, be strong for me!

TAG:
E5           G5              D5
    How am I   supposed to be everything they expect
      C5              E5
Me to be when I feel so alone, so alone!

(Final Chorus)

Good luck! \m/
