[Intro]
C#m
[Verse]
C#m
On a long and lonesome highway
C#m
east of Omaha
B
You can listen to the engine,
B
moaning out his one note song
F#
You can think about the woman,
F# C#m C#m
or the girl you knew the night before
C#m
And your thoughts will soon be wandering
C#m
the way they always do
B
When you're riding sixteen hours
B
and there's nothing much to do
F#
You don't feel much like riding',
F# C#m C#m
you just wish the trip was through
[Chorus]
B C#m
Here I am, on the road again
B C#m
Here I am, up on the stage
B F#
Here I go, playing star again
A B C#m
There I go, turn the page
[Verse]
C#m
So you walk into a restaurant,
C#m
strung out from the road
B
And you feel the eyes upon you,
B
as you're shaking off the cold
F#
You pretend it doesn't bother you,
F# C#m C#m
but you just want to explode
C#m C#m
Most times you can here 'em talk,
other times you can't
B
All the same 'old cliches:
B
is that a woman? is a man?
F#
And you always seem outnumbered,
F# C#m C#m
you don’t dare make a stand
[Chorus]
B C#m
Here I am, on the road again
B C#m
Here I am, up on the stage
B F#
Here I go, playing star again
A B C#m
There I go, turn the page
[Verse]
C#m
Out there in the spotlight,
C#m
you’re a million miles away
B
Every ounce of energy,
B
you try to give away
F#
As the sweat pours out your body,
F# C#m C#m
like the music that you play
[Bridge]
C#m~ C#m~
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
B~
With the echoes of the amplifiers,
B~
ringing in your head
F#~
You smoke the day’s last cigarette,
F#~ C#m~ C#m
remembering what she said
[Solo]
B C#m 3x
A B C#m
B C#m 3x
A B C#m
[Chorus]
B C#m
Here I am, on the road again
B C#m
Here I am, up on the stage
B F#
Here I go, playing star again
A B C#m
There I go, turn the page
A B C#m
There I go, turn the page
A B C#m C#m
There I go oh yeah, there I go yeah
B C#m B C#m B C#m
There I go, Here I go
A B C#m~
There I go ohhh, here I go...
