verse 1: 
                G                           D                                 Em    C 
I've played the rebel teenager, the mysterious stranger, The wild child on the run, 
          G                              D                                    Em    C   G  
I've been the college dropout, the commitment cop out, The comin' home prodigal son   
Em                      C       Em                                          C           
It feels kinda like a movie, Makes me wonder what I'm gonna see  



               G                 D                         Em                       C 
When the credits roll and the show is over, and I see all the parts I played 
                   G         D                        Em                    C 
Get a glimpse of my soul up on that screen, I only hope I can say  
              Em                                      C                                 G 
I was a little less villain, And a little more hero,When the credits roll

                  G                D                         Em                       C      
Was I in it for the money was I trying' to be funny, Was it all about me being right, 
                  G                D                         Em                       C      
Was I a stand up witness did I offer some forgiveness, to help somebody see the light, 
        Em                               C       Em                                C 
When the curtain comes down some day, I wonder what the crtic'll say 




       G                 D                         Em                       C                  
When the credits roll and the show is over, and I see all the parts I played 
               G         D                        Em                    C 
Get a glimpse of my soul up on that screen, I only hope I can say  
       Em                                      C                                 G 
I was a little less villain, And a little more hero,When the credits roll
