Play it softly and mean it - Brian
C
I was meant for the stage,
F C
I was meant for the curtain.
C Cmaj9 Am Am7/G
I was meant to tread these boards,
F C
Of this much i am certain.
C
I was meant for the crowd,
F C
I was meant for the shouting.
C Cmaj9 Am Am7/G
I was meant to raise these hands
F C G
With quiet all about me. oh, oh.
C
Mother, please, be proud.
F C
Father, be forgiven.
C Cmaj9 Am Am7/G
Even though you told me 'Son,
F C G
you'll never make a living.' oh, oh.
G F
From the floorboards to the fly,
C
Here I was fated to reside.
G
And as I take my final bow,
C
Was there ever any doubt?
F
And as the spotlights fade away,
C
And you're escorted through the foyer,
G
You will resume your callow ways,
C
But I was meant for the stage.
