Em G D
I pack my bags & say goodbye to my wife
C
For what seems like the millionth time.
Em C/D Em
They said it gets easier, but they lied.
G D C
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.
Em D G C/D
And that is when I ask myself;
Em D C
How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to
Em D C
Be when I feel so alone, Cause I left my heart at home.
Em D C
She needs me, but I know they need me too.
Em D C Em
So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.
VERSE 2:
Em G D
Really I'm so thankful for the people I meet,
C
The places I've been & the things I've seen,
Em C/D Em
But when she's not here it doesn't feel like I'm living my dream.
G D
I know they say that no one is perfect,
C
But I swear she's perfect for me
Em/C
And that makes it so much harder to leave.
(Chorus)
BRIDGE:
Em D G/C Am ( B )
If you miss me, I'm just a phone call away.
Em D G/C Am ( B )
Please be strong, be strong for me.
Em D G/C Am ( B )
I need you to show me how to change the inside of me.
Em D G/C Am D
For my heart, for their sake, Be strong, be strong for me!
Em G D
How am I supposed to be everything they expect
C Em/C
Me to be when I feel so alone, so alone!
(Final Chorus)
