Subject: Gary Allen - Right Where I Need To Be

Right Where I Need To Be - Gary Allen
Capo 1st fret (the last note in the riff is really open, but the capo is
on the first fret, so I didn’t know if I should write “0” or “1”). 
Listen to the song to get it right.

Chord progression is F C G G all the way through the song (so for those
who don’t know, it’s FCGG on each line)

(verse 1)
There’s a plane flyin’ outta here tonight 
Destination New Orleans 
Boss man says my big promotion’s on the line 
He says that’s right where I need to be

(verse 2)
Lately I’ve been on the road more than I’ve been home 
All this leavin’ her alone is killin’ me 
And holdin’ her right now has got me thinkin’ more and more 
This is right where I need to be 

(chorus)
Where when I hear her I can see her I can smell her sweet perfume
I can feel her skin against me when I sleep 
Where I won’t miss her I can kiss her anytime that I want to 
Yeah that’s right where I need to be 
Yeah that’s right where I need to be 

(verse 3)
There’s a plane flyin’ outta here tonight
With an empty first class seat
‘Cause I’ve finally got all my priorities in line 
And I’m right where I need to be

(chorus)
Where when I hear her I can see her I can smell her sweet perfume 
I can feel her skin against me when I sleep 
Where I won’t miss her I can kiss her anytime that I want to 
Yeah that’s right where I need to be 
Yeah I’m right where I need to be
