G                     C                  D                G                  C     D
Every now an then I take a journey       I look to the horizon and I am drawn
          Am                       C                             G
5000 Miles away in the West my sons were born
 

G                      Am                 G                        D
She’s got their birthdays and they’ve got their toys
 
Am                             C                             G                      
And in the end  I just wanna be  with my boys
 

G          C                        Am       D                   G                   C   Am  D
We did homework and we went places             When  other kids play I see their faces
 

G                      C                         D    G              C           Am     D
I remember the times they arrived      Always a Morning, a quick panicked drive
 

G                              C                                        Am         D
Now their gone and I’ve moved on                    I tried so hard to get along
 
G                               C                        Am                    D
But that’s the way it has to be,          I’m coming back some day you’ll see!
 

G                 Am                 G                         D               Am                        C   G
She’s in the box seat, and she’s having her fun              And in the end I just wanna be with my sons
 

G         C       A               D          G            C                 A       D
I feel whole when I get near       Leaving that place is my biggest fear,
 
G               C                         D                    Am                       C     G
But I get a week and I feel OK                   The worst time for me is Christmas day
 
G                      Am                 G                        D
She’s got their birthdays and they’ve got their toys
 
Am                             C                             G
And in the end  I just wanna be  with my boys
 
G                 C                     Am                    D        G                 C       Am      D
The bus is winding through the desert night           Twelve more hours til my Melbourne flight
 
G             C                Am              D               Am                    C G
I feel I’m leaving my soul in Town               And I can’t cry, if I do I’ll drown
C                 Am                                   D     G                        C                  Am   D
But you’ve got hope and in the end,          You know those three little men       are your best friends!
