Turn The Page

[Intro]
A#m


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

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

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

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


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


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

strung out from the road
        G#
And you feel the eyes upon you

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

other times you can
        G#
All the same old cliches,

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


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


[Interlude]
A#m


[Verse]
A#m
Out there in the spotlight

you're a million miles away
G#
Every ounce of energy

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

as you lie awake in bed
         G#
With the echoes from the amplifiers

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


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


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