Steal My Show Chords by Tobymac

Gotta be honest with you
Louisiana I _ _ may or may not have just been catching my breath back there.
I
Hey, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ listen, _ _ I was working on this song
About five years ago
[C] You know, I made a demo of it
[F] You know demos don't always sound that good at least mine [Am] don't till I polish it up a bit
But I [C] I sent the demo out [G] to a couple people that I trust, [C] you know
Just to get a little feedback see what they thought [F] so uh
They [Am] didn't hit me for the first day or two
[G] And finally I hit him up.
I'm like, hey
[C] What'd you think of the song man?
_ [F] You know, [C] he's like
_ [Am] man
That melody [G] is nice.
I knew I was in trouble already
[C] _ He was like the groove [F] smooth
But [A] man, it's the words.
[Am] _ [G] I mean the heart of the song is really about
[C] it's about being on stage _ [F] and
_ Not everyone can [Am] relate to that
Not [C] everybody's on stage so it [G] might not resonate with [C] people
So I took a deep [F] breath
You know, let the [A] defensive
[Am] Spirit in me subside [G] just a bit
And I was like now hold [C] on
That's not the heart of that song at all.
[F] See that song is really about [Am] anybody _
That's willing to give their [G] life for something bigger than themselves
[C] See _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
the way I wrote that song was
[C] _ [G] About six or seven years [C] ago.
I was on this big tour _ and we were the last [F] act up
So [Am] there was a microphone my microphone would sit right here [C] in the middle of the stage
[G]
And I would [C] be standing at the top of those stairs on stage left [Am] waiting for them to announce my name
So I could walk [G] across the stage to that microphone _ [C] and every night after they said my name
[Am]
I would take that 50-foot walk.
_ I would say [C] the same [G] thing night after [C] night
Say God
_ [F]
[Am] Tonight is yours
_ Come take it [C] do with it.
[G] Whatever you will
Won't [C] you come?
Let's deal my [F] show
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ Another cold night
[Am] Another late flight.
It's almost [C] showtime
_ [G] Diversity is waiting on [C] me.
We've got a packed house
[Am] The crowd is calling out.
They want the beat to [G] drop but what we [C] really [G] need is you _ _
_ Anybody in Louisiana one sing [Abm] tonight _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ My [F] show sit back and watch [Am] you go
Something [C] to say go on and take it away.
You just see [F] my show.
[Am] Can't wait to watch you go
_ _ [F] _
So [C] take it away
_ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] Hey
So now the crowd is here [F]
that you showed up [Am] tonight
And kiss the baby [G] baby something more smoking [C] lights So
_ _ [F] _
I'll give you
[Am] _ _ Spotlight [G] give them what they came
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _
And watch [Am] you go
Something [F] to say go on [C] take it away.
You just feel [F] my show.
Yeah watch [Am] you
_ _ _ [F] _ _
Take [C] it away
_ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ _ Oh
Lucienne no matter [F] who we are no matter what we do.
[Am] We all got our own show
We [F] got our own life and we can either take [Cm] that light and [F] we can make it ours
But [Am] we can give it to God and ask him to do something much [F] greater with it than we could ever do on [C] our own
We can say God
[F] Here I am [Am] steal my show take it [F] away Lord take it away
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Am] _ Use _ _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] this for your kingdom
