[Verse]
                           G C/G G
If its just to top a song chart
                           C#dim/G
To feed the kids and get a bigger car
                       D9add5
The skies already got enough stars
                       G C/G G
And they all sing Your name
 
                         G C/G G
And if I'm here to write a #1
                        C#dim/G
To get a gold or maybe platinum
                        D9add5
Make me a singer who is unsung
                    G C/G G
Cuz You won't share fame
 
             Bm                  E
Cause even accolades someday will fade away
    C#m      F#m
Oh just like me
Bm      E          F#m
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
                               C#dim/G
To dim my house and make the stages bright
                             D9add5
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
                        C#dim/G
To fill my social insecurities
                             D9add5
I'm asking if there's any hope for me
                    G C/G G
Cuz there is room for only one
 
             Bm                  E
Cause even accolades someday will fade away
    C#m      F#m
Oh just like me
Bm      E          F#m
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                A7/G   A
Help me get back to the reason I sing for You
 
 Dm7                  C
Why are we so convinced a bigger audience
 G               D/F#
Is simply common sense to have?
 Dm7             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
                               C#dim/G
The small crowds and the small pay
                             D9add5
Then maybe even in a small way
                    G C/G G
I can bring You fame
 
             Bm                  E
Cause even accolades someday will fade away
    C#m      F#m
Oh just like me
Bm      E          F#m
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
Bm                       E                 A
Help me get back to the reason I sing for You
