Verse:
Gbm               A             E
    I pack my bags & say goodbye to my wife
                        D
For what seems like the millionth time.
Gbm                    D                Gbm
    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. 
    Gbm      E      A     D  
And that is when I ask myself;

Chorus:
Gbm       E               D
How am I   supposed to be  everything they expect me to
Gbm             E        D
Be when I feel so alone,  Cause I left my heart at home.
Gbm        E               D
    She needs me, but I know they need me too.
   Gbm               E            D                        Gbm
So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.

Verse:
Gbm              A                  E
    Really I'm so thankful for the people I meet,
                           D
The places I've been & the things I've seen,
         Gbm                        D                       Gbm
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
                          Gbm  
And that makes it so much harder to leave.

Chorus:
Gbm       E               D
How am I   supposed to be  everything they expect me to
Gbm             E        D
Be when I feel so alone,  Cause I left my heart at home.
Gbm        E               D
    She needs me, but I know they need me too.
   Gbm               E            D                        Gbm
So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.

Bridge:
Gbm            E           A                 Bm   -xDb-x
    If you miss me, I'm just a phone call away.
          Gbm         E           A     Bm   -xDb-x
Please be strong, be strong for me.  


Gbm                  E              A                   Bm   -xDb-x
    I need you to show me how to change the inside of me.
       Gbm               E         A         Bm     E    
For my heart, for their sake, Be strong, be strong for me!


Gbm           A              E
    How am I   supposed to be everything they expect
      D              Gbm  
Me to be when I feel so alone, so alone!

Chorus:
Gbm       E               D
How am I   supposed to be  everything they expect me to
Gbm             E        D
Be when I feel so alone,  Cause I left my heart at home.
Gbm        E               D
    She needs me, but I know they need me too.
   Gbm               E            D                        Gbm
So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.
