[Verse 1]
G   Am7                D   C/D
  I don't have much to say
G             Am7             D   C/D
  Thought I'd call you up any-way
G      Am7       D
  Just to try to show you the way
B7          Em7
That I feel today
      F/C         C
Oh, I miss you ba-by

[Verse 2]
G   Am7            D   C/D
  I sure am on the road
G         Am7              D   C/D
  I don't need to say much more
G          Am7                 D
  Just the same old well-known stranger
B7          Em7
That I was before
              F/C         C
It seems like yesterday now

[Chorus]
G   Am7            D   C/D
  Daddy's all gone
G   Am7            D   C/D
  Only halfway home
G          Am7                 D
  He's holding on to the telephone
B7        Em7          F/C             C
  Saying, please don't let the show go on.

[Verse 3]
G    Am7                    D   C/D
  There's a bus every other hour
G         Am7               D     C/D
  There's even the midnight train
G          Am7                D
  But that don't leave me the power
B7               Em7
To see your face again
         F/C       C
It's not that simple

[Verse 4]
G      Am7                                 D    C/D
   You see, there's a room full of smiling faces
G                Am7             D    C/D
   There's a man standin' by the door
G       Am7          D
   Says it's time to change our places
B7                  Em7
And get down on the floor
      F/C    C
Kill 'em, baby

[Chorus]
G   Am7            D   C/D
  Daddy's all gone
G   Am7                  D   C/D
  He's just halfway home
G          Am7                 D
  He's holding on to the microphone
B7         Em7          F/C                C
  Singing, please don't make the show go on
