[Verse]
F#m               A             E
    I pack my bags & say goodbye to my wife

                        D
For what seems like the millionth time.

F#m                    D                F#m
    They said it gets easier, but they lied.

              A              E                       D
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.
    F#m      E      A     D
And that is when I ask myself;
[Chorus]
F#m       E               D
How am I   supposed to be  everything they expect me to

F#m             E        D
Be when I feel so alone,  Cause I left my heart at home.

F#m        E               D
    She needs me, but I know they need me too.

   F#m               E            D                        F#m
So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.
[Verse]
F#m              A                  E
    Really I'm so thankful for the people I meet,

                           D
The places I've been & the things I've seen,

         F#m                        D                       F#m
But when she's not here it doesn't feel like I'm living my dream.

             A                 E
I know they say that no one is perfect,

                              D
But I swear she's perfect for me

                          F#m
And that makes it so much harder to leave.
[Chorus]
F#m       E               D
How am I   supposed to be  everything they expect me to

F#m             E        D
Be when I feel so alone,  Cause I left my heart at home.

F#m        E               D
    She needs me, but I know they need me too.

   F#m               E            D                        F#m
So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.
[Bridge]
F#m            E           A                 Bm   (C#)
    If you miss me, I'm just a phone call away.

          F#m         E           A     Bm   (C#)
Please be strong, be strong for me.

F#m                  E              A                   Bm   (C#)
    I need you to show me how to change the inside of me.

       F#m               E         A         Bm     E
For my heart, for their sake, Be strong, be strong for me!

F#m           A              E
    How am I   supposed to be everything they expect

      D              F#m
Me to be when I feel so alone, so alone!
[Chorus]
F#m       E               D
How am I   supposed to be  everything they expect me to

F#m             E        D
Be when I feel so alone,  Cause I left my heart at home.

F#m        E               D
    She needs me, but I know they need me too.

   F#m               E            D                        F#m
So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.
