Turn The Page

[Intro]
Am


[Verse]          
     Am
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
                                 Am
or the girl you knew the night before
Am
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',
                                   Am
you just wish the trip was through


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


[Verse]
         Am
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
                             Am
but you just want to explode
     Am
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,
                            Am
you don't dare make a stand


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


[Interlude]
Am


[Verse]
Am
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
                             Am
like the music that you play
Am
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,
                          Am
rememberin' what she said


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


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