[Verse 1]

D MajorD               E minorEm
Shelley's at the kitchen table, cup of coffee the morning paper
D MajorD                    G+G          Gmaj7Gmaj7
When he walks in she's so surprised, to see the tears in his eyes
  D MajorD              E minorEm
He says I love you I'm so sorry, but bigger dreams are waiting for me
D/F#D/F#          G+G A augmentedA
And I can't do this anymo -re

[Chorus]

     D MajorD      A augmentedA       G+G        A augmentedA
I pay the bills, watch TV, day in day out the same routine
     B minorBm       A/C#A/C#     G/DG/D   A augmentedA
I mow the grass, fix the leak just to fix it again
     D MajorD      A augmentedA        G+G       Em6Em6
We go to church go to work, so picture perfect that it hurts
 D MajorD       D6D6    A augmentedA     A7A7    D MajorD   E minorEm
I feel like I'm trapped inside this ordinary life.


[Verse 2]

D MajorD               E minorEm
Shelley's at the kitchen table, crayons, construction paper
D MajorD             G+G
Hey mom look what I drew, it's a picture of me and you
D MajorD                    E minorEm
Then later when he says his prayers, she runs her fingers through his hair
  D MajorD         G+G A augmentedA
So thankful for every d-a-y


[Chorus]

        D MajorD      A augmentedA      G+G         A augmentedA
They pay their bills, watch TV, day in day out it's all they need
       B minorBm       A/C#A/C#    G/DG/D   A augmentedA
They mow the grass, fix the leak just to fix it again
      D MajorD      A augmentedA      G+G         Em6Em6
They go to church, go to school, everyday it's something new
 D MajorD        D6D6       A augmentedA      A7A7    D MajorD
Precious are the days as they go by, in their ordinary lives.

[Bridge]

B minorBm        Bm7Bm7       E7E7
Phone rings he's calling from the airport
   A augmentedA         A7A7   D MajorD
It's midnight he's all alone again
G+G     G/F#       E minor 7Em7    Esus4Esus4
He'says I can't believe how much I've missed
G+G     G/F#   A augmentedA
And what I wouldn't give


[Chorus]

      D MajorD      A augmentedA       G+G        A augmentedA
To pay the bills, watch TV, day in day out the same routine
      B minorBm      A/C#A/C#     G/DG/D   A augmentedA
To mow the grass, fix the leak just to fix it again
     D MajorD      A augmentedA      G+G         Em6Em6
To go to church, go to work I can't tell you how this hurts
 D MajorD       D6D6    A augmentedA       A7A7   D MajorD  E minorEm D MajorD
