Turn The Page

[Intro]
C#m


[Verse]          
     C#m
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
        B
You can listen to the engine

moanin' out his one note song
        F#
You can think about the woman
                                 C#m
or the girl you knew the night before
C#m
But your thoughts will soon be wandering

the way they always do
            B
When you're ridin' sixteen hours

and there's nothin' there to do
        F#
And you don't feel much like ridin',
                                   C#m
you just wish the trip was through


[Chorus]
(C#m)       B          C#m
Say here I am, on the road again
        B              C#m
there I am, up on the stage
       B                F#
here I go, playing the star again
        A  B         C#m
there I go, turn the page


[Verse]
         C#m
Well you walk into a restaurant,

strung out from the road
        B
And you feel the eyes upon you

as you're shakin' off the cold
    F#
You pretend it doesn't bother you
                             C#m
but you just want to explode
     C#m
Most times you can't hear 'em talk,

other times you can
        B
All the same old cliches,

Is that a woman or a man?
        F#
And you always seem outnumbered,
                            C#m
you don't dare make a stand


[Chorus]
(C#m)   B          C#m
Here I am, on the road again
        B              C#m
there I am, up on the stage
       B                F#
here I go, playing the star again
        A  B         C#m
there I go, turn the page


[Interlude]
C#m


[Verse]
C#m
Out there in the spotlight

you're a million miles away
B
Every ounce of energy

you try to give away
       F#
As the sweat pours out your body
                             C#m
like the music that you play
C#m
Later in the evening

as you lie awake in bed
         B
With the echoes from the amplifiers

ringin' in your head
     F#
You smoke the day's last cigarette,
                          C#m
rememberin' what she said


[Chorus]
(C#m)   B          C#m
Here I am, on the road again
        B              C#m
there I am, up on the stage
       B                F#
here I go, playing the star again
        A  B         C#m
there I go, turn the page


[Chorus]
(C#m)   B          C#m
Here I am, on the road again
        B        C#m
there I am, up on the stage
       B                F#
here I go, playing the star again
        A  B        C#m
there I go, there I go
