[G]
[Em] [Dm]
[G] If it's just the top of some chart To feed the kids and [Em] get a bigger car
The sky's already [Dm] got enough stars And they all sing [G] your name
And if I'm here to ride a number one To get a gold or maybe [Em] platinum
Make me a singer [D] who is unsung Cause you won't share [G] your fame
Cause even [Bm] accolades someday [E] will fade away [C#m] Oh just [F#m] like me
[Bm] Yes [E] everything [F#m] but you yeah And many [Bm] years from now
[E] It won't matter how [C#m] I write the [F#m] rhymes I do [Bm] yeah
Help me get [E] back to the reason I sing [A] for you
[G] I'm always looking for the limelight To dim my [C#] house and make the stages [Em] bright
Compared to you [C] I'm just a night light [D]
Against the [G] blazing sun
I enter rooms and hope they notice me To fill my [C#] social insecurities
I'm asking [C] is there any [D] hope for me Cause there's only [G] room here for one
Cause even [Bm] accolades [E] someday will fade [C#m] away Oh just [F#m] like me
[Bm] Yes [E] everything [F#m] but you yeah And many [Bm] years from now
[E] It won't matter how [C#m] I write the [F#m] rhymes I do [Bm] yeah
Help me get [E] back to the reason I [G] sing for you
[Dm] Why are we [C] so convinced a bigger [G] audience Is simply [D] common sense to [Dm] have
Maybe [C] success is measured best [G] by nothing less than our [D] obedience
[N]
[Em] [Dm]
