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