[Verse]
If its just to top a song cGhaC/Grt G
To feed the kids and get a C#dim/Gbigger car
D9add5
The skies already got enough stars
And they all sing Your GnaC/Gme G
And if I'm here to write Ga C/G#1 G
To get a gold or maybe pC#dim/Glatinum
D9add5
Make me a singer who is unsung
Cuz You won't share GfaC/Gme G
Cause even acBmcolades someday willE fade away
Oh jC#must like F#mme
BmYes everEything but F#mYou, yeah
And many years from nBmow it won't mEatter
How I C#mwrite the rhymes IF#m do, yeah
BmHelp me get back to the rEeason I sing for YAou
I'm always looking for the GliC/GmeliGght
To dim my house and make the stC#dim/Gages bright
D9add5
Compared to You I'm just a night light
Against the blazing GsuC/Gn G
I enter rooms and hope theyG nC/GoticGe me
To fill my social insecuC#dim/Grities
D9add5
I'm asking if there's any hope for me
Cuz there is room foGr C/GonlyG one
Cause even acBmcolades someday willE fade away
Oh jC#must like F#mme
BmYes everEything but F#mYou, yeah
And many years from nBmow it won't mEatter
How I C#mwrite the rhymes IF#m do, yeah
BmHelp me get back to the rEeason I sing for A7/GYou A
WDm7hy are we so convinceCd a bigger audience
IGs simply common D/F#sense to have?
MDm7aybe success is Cmeasured best
By nothing Gless then our D/F#obedience
So if I'm destined for a smGalC/Gl stGage
The small crowds and the small C#dim/Gpay
D9add5
Then maybe even in a small way
I can bring You fameG C/G G
Cause even acBmcolades someday willE fade away
Oh jC#must like F#mme
BmYes everEything but F#mYou, yeah
And many years from nBmow it won't mEatter
How I C#mwrite the rhymes IF#m do, yeah
BmHelp me get back to the rEeason I sing for YAou
BmHelp me get back to the rEeason I sing for YAou
