( 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
                           D9
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
                        D9
Make me a singer who is unsung
                    G C/G G
Cuz You won't share fame

Refrão:
             Bm                  E
Cuz even accolades someday will fade away
    C#m             F#m
Oh just like me
Bm      E          F#
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
                             D9
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
                             D9
I'm asking if there's any hope for me
                    G C/G G
Cuz there is room for only one

Refrão:
Dm                C               G
Why are we so convinced a bigger audience
   D/F#
Is simply common sense to have?
Dm                   C
Maybe success is measured best
G                         D/F#
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
