[Verse 1]
E
I start missing you
E
Days before you leave
E Fm
I guess it's a kind of sensory memory
Fm
Deep below the conscious
E
Mind you
E
I can be on my own
E
Iâ??m an only child
Fm
I like my company
Fm
Potter '??round
Fm
Make another pot of
E
Tea for two is when
E
You come home
E
We sit and eat breakfast
Fm
Eggs with soldier toast
Fm
Buttered well
Fm
So you get the edges
D# A5
Of the things we never say
D# A5
Distance has a funny way
D# A5
Of slowly making you someone
That I don'??t know

[Verse 2]
E
People ask me why
E
I don'??t go on the road with you
Fm
I tell them
Fm
"??Here?'s a day in the life of a touring muso"
E
Early morning flight
E
Press all day
E
City through a window
Fm
Air-conditioned room
Fm
With a view
Fm
Late night
Fm
Early morning
E
Light creeps through the blinds
E
And the cat
E
Hungry for her breakfast
Fm
Routine keeps me sane
Fm
I'm not made
Fm
For the lonesome highway
D# A5
I guess Iâ??m never gonna be
D# A5
The Joy to your Slim Dusty
D# A5
But you know I'm always here
When you get home
