A Em And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand [Chorus] Em D Em Here I am, on the road again D Em There I am, up on the stage D A Here I go, playing star again C D Em There I go, turn the page, ah [Bridge] Em Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away D Every ounce of energy you try to give away A Em As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play [Saxophone riff] E-|---/15--14----10-----------------------| B-|--------------------10--12----10/12----| G-|---------------------------------------| D-|---------------------------------------| A-|---------------------------------------| E-|---------------------------------------| [Verse] (slightly muted chords, strum once for the quiet part) Em Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed D With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head A Em You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said [Chorus] Em D Em Ah, here I am, on the road again D Em There I am, up on the stage D A Here I go, playing star again C D Em There I go, turn the page Em D Em Ah, here I am, on the road again D Em There I am, up on the stage D A Here I go, playing star again C D Em There I go, there I go [Saxophone riff] E-|---/15--14----10--------------|-------15--14----10---------------------------------| B-|--------------------10--12----|10/12----------------10--12-------------------------| G-|------------------------------|-----------------------------12-\11--\9-\7----------| D-|------------------------------|--------------------------------------------7-/9----| A-|------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------| E-|------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|
