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; 


[Refrão]


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)
