A Showmans Life by Gary Allan

E                B
A showman?s life is a smokey bar 
                C#m             A
And the fevered chase of a tiny star 
             C#m               A
It?s a hotel room and a lonely wife 
               E                   B                         E
From what I?ve seen of a showman?s life nobody told me about this part 
A                          E
They told me all about the pretty girls 
        E            B             E
And the wine and the money and the good times, 
           A
There?s no mention of all the wear and tear, 
      C#m B              A
On an old honky tonker?s heart 
     E
Well I might of known it, 
   B                     E
But nobody told me about this part  
A boy will dream as children do
Of a great white way until the dream comes true
And a phony smile in a colored light
Is all there is to a showman?s life nobody told me about this part
Chorus
But nobody told me about this part
Chorus
Well I might of known it
But nobody told me about this part
