Memphis May Fire – Miles Away chords

Miles Away (Ft. Kellin Quinn)
Memphis May Fire
Challenger

Standard Tuning
Capo 2

If you don’t have a capo or simply don’t want to use one then transpose the 
chords 2 half steps up (1 full step). Note: There are certain parts in the 
song where no chords or root notes at all are being played. At these parts, I 
simply list the chord or chords that sticks out most or fits best. 

*The (B) in the bridge is a bass note and is optional.


VERSE 1:

Em               G             D    I pack my bags & say goodbye to my wife
                        CFor what seems like the millionth time.
Em                    C/D              Em    They said it gets easier, but they lied.
              G              D                       CShe looks at me & says "really baby, I will be just fine,"

But then she looks away so I don't have to see her cry. 
    Em      D      G     C/DAnd that is when I ask myself;

CHORUS:

Em       D               CHow am I   supposed to be  everything they expect me to
Em             D        CBe when I feel so alone,  Cause I left my heart at home.
Em        D               C    She needs me, but I know they need me too.
   Em               D            C                        EmSo God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.

VERSE 2:

Em              G                  D    Really I'm so thankful for the people I meet,
                           CThe places I've been & the things I've seen,
         Em                        C/D                     EmBut when she's not here it doesn't feel like I'm living my dream.
             G                 DI know they say that no one is perfect, 
                              CBut I swear she's perfect for me
                          Em/CAnd that makes it so much harder to leave.

(Chorus)

BRIDGE:

Em            D           G/C               Am   (B)    If you miss me, I'm just a phone call away.
          Em         D           G/C   Am   (B)Please be strong, be strong for me.  

Em                  D              G/C                 Am   (B)    I need you to show me how to change the inside of me.
       Em               D         G/C       Am     D    For my heart, for their sake, Be strong, be strong for me!

TAG:
Em           G              D    How am I   supposed to be everything they expect
      C              Em/CMe to be when I feel so alone, so alone!

(Final Chorus)

Good luck! \m/
