Gary Allan - A Showmans Life

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
