[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.
[Interlude]

[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
[Outro]
