Biography:
Phil Vassar (born May 28, 1964 in Lynchburg, Virginia) is an American country music artist, most notable for his songwriting and use of a piano as his most prominent backing instrument.

G D/F#
On a plane to the West Coast, laptop on my tray
C D
Papers spread across my seat, a big deadline to make
G D
An older man sitting next to me said, "Sorry to intrude,
C D
Thirty years ago my busy friend, I was you.
Em Bm C D
I made a ton of money and I climbed up the ladder,
Em Bm C D
Yeah, I was superman, not what does it matter.
[Chorus]
G
I missed the first steps my daughter took
Am C
The time my son played Captain Hook in 'Peter Pan'
D
I was in New York, said 'Sorry son, Dad has to work'
G
I missed the father daughter dance
Am
The first home run, no second chance
C
To be there when he crossed the plate
D
The moment's gone now it's too late
C Bm Am
Fame and fortune come with a heavy price
D G D/G C D
Son, don't miss your life."
G D
Funny you should say that, I was sitting at the gate
C D
My daughter called, she made straight A's and they're off to celebrate.
G D
Scrolling through the pictures of my little family
C D
My daughter with her mom and friends, not a single one with me.
Em Bm C D
They know I love 'em, I know they know I care
Em Bm C D
The truth is half the time, I'm not even there.
[Chorus]
G
I missed our fourth and fifth anniversary
Am
Our girl was early by a week
C
Her sister had to hold her hand
D
I was in L.A., she said "I understand"
G
I missed her first day of school
Am
Then what kind of crazy fool
C
Lets such precious moments pass
D
We all know time goes way too fast
C Bm Am D
Hold on tight ‘cause it don't happen twice
G
Don't miss your life.
F C/E D
When I get off this plane, I'll buy a turn-around ticket
F C/E D
Saturday's her eighth birthday and I'm not gonna miss it
G
There'll be balloons and birthday cake
Am
And I'll clean up the mess they make
C
My mom and dad are drivin' in
D
I haven't seen 'em in God knows when
G
My wife will probably say to me
Am C
"I thought you were supposed to be in Portland
D
For a few more days", I'll take her in my arms and say
C Bm Am D
"I heard some words that hit me hard last night,
G---
A man said: 'Don't miss your life'."
