I Was Meant For The Stage

(início)

C                          F                   C
I was meant for the stage, I was meant for the curtains
C     C/B      Am          Am/G       F              C
I was meant to tread these boards, of this much I am certain
C                          F                   C
I was meant for the crowd, I was meant for the shouting
C     C/B      Am          Am/G       F              C
I was meant to raise these hands with quiet all about me
   G
Oh, Oh
C                          F                   C
Mother, please be proud, Father, be forgiving
C     C/B      Am          Am/G       F              C
Even though you told me, son, you'll never make a living
   G       G7
Oh Oh
                            F                          C
From the floorboards to the fly, here I was fated to reside
                       G    G7                 C      C7
And as I take my final bow, was there ever any doubt?
                       F                                C
And as the spotlights fade away, and you're escorted through the foyer
                            G         G7                  C
You will resume your callow ways, but I was meant for the stage
C                          F                   C
The heavens, at my birth, intended me for stardom
C     C/B      Am          Am/G       F              C
Rays of light shine down on me and all my sins were pardoned
C                          F                   C
I was meant for applause, I was meant for derision
C     C/B      Am          Am/G       F              C
Nothing short of fate itself has affected my decision
   G
Oh Oh
                            F                          C
From the floorboards to the fly, here I was fated to reside
                       G    G7                 C      C7
And as I take my final bow, was there ever any doubt?
                       F                                C
And as the spotlights fade away, and you're escorted through the foyer
                            G         G7                  C
You will resume your callow ways, but I was meant for the stage
