[G] I think the hardest [A] part of what we do is just being gone so much.
You're absent all the [C] time, you miss so many things.
I miss taking them to school, I miss [G] their laughter, I [D] miss [G] everything.
Say come home daddy.
Come home [C] daddy.
Say I miss you.
I miss [G] you.
Blow them a kiss.
[C] [G] On a plane to the west coast, [D] laptop on my tray, [C] paper spread across [G] my [D] seat, a book
big deadline to make.
[G] An older man sitting next to me [D] said, sorry to intrude, [C] but thirty years ago my busy [D] friend,
I was you.
[Em] I made a [Bm] ton of money [C] and I climbed [D] up the ladder.
[Em] Yeah [Bm] I was superman, [C] now what [D] does it matter?
I [G] miss the first steps my daughter took, [Am] the time my son played Captain Hook in Peter [C] Pan.
I was in New York, [D] said sorry son, that has to work.
[G] I miss the father-daughter dance, [Am] the first home run, no second [C] chance to be there.
When he crossed the plate, [D] the moment's gone, now it's [G] too late.
[C] Fame and [G] fortune come with a heavy [Am] price.
[G] Son, don't miss your life.
[C] [G]
Funny you should say that, I [D] was sitting at the gate.
[C] My daughter called, she made straight A's [D] and they're off to celebrate.
[G] Scrolling through the pictures of [D] my little family, [C] my daughter with her mom and friends,
[D] not a single one with me.
[Em] They know [Bm] I love, [C] I know they know [G] I [D] care, [Em] but truth [Bm] is half the time [C] I'm not even [D] there.
I missed [G] our fourth and fifth anniversary, [Am] our girl was early by a week, [C] her sister had
to hold her hand.
[D] I was in L.A.,. she said I understand. [G] I missed her first day of school, [Am] man we're kind of crazy fool. [C] As such precious moments pass, [D] we all know time goes way too fast. [C] Hold on [G] tight, cause it don't happen [Am] twice. [D] [G] Don't miss your life. [F] When I get off [C] this plane, I'll buy [D] a turnaround ticket. [F] Saturday's [C] her eighth birthday [D] and I'm not gonna miss it. There'll be [G] balloons and birthday cake, [Am] and I'll clean up the mess they [G] make. [C] My mom and dad are driving in, [D] I haven't seen them in God knows when. [G] My wife will probably say to me, [Am] I thought you were supposed [G] to be [C] in Portland. For a few more days [D] I'll take her in my arms and say, [C] I heard some words [G] that hit me hard last [Am] night. [D] A man said, don't miss your [D#] life. [G]
[C#] In the end, when this is all done, when I'm not touring anymore, that's what I have, it's my kids, my family. It's the most important thing.
