G C/G G Gº C9 G C/G G
G C/G G
If its just to top a song chart
Gº
To feed the kids and get a bigger car
C9
The skies already have a lot of stars
G C/G G
And they all sing Your name
G C/G G
And if I'm here to write a #1
Gº
To get a gold or maybe platinum
C9
Make me a singer who is unsung
G C/G G
Cuz You won't share fame
Bm E
Cuz even accolades someday will fade away
C#m F#m
Oh just like me
Bm E A
Yes everything but You, yeah
Bm E
And many years from now it won't matter
C#m F#m
How I write the rhymes I do, yeah
Bm E A
Help me get back to the reason I sing for You
G C/G G
I'm always looking for the limelight
Gº
To dim my house and make the stages bright
C9
Compared to You I'm just a night light
G C/G G
Against the blazing sun
G C/G G
I enter rooms and hope they notice me
Gº
To fill my social insecurities
C9
I'm asking if there's any hope for me
G C/G G
Cuz there is room for only one
(refrão)
Why are we so convinced a bigger audience
Is simply common sense to have?
Maybe success is measured best
By nothing less then our obedience
G C/G G
So if I'm destined for a small stage
Gº
The small crowds and the small pay
C9
Then maybe even in a small way
G C/G G
I can bring You fame
(refrão)
