Melanie Safka - To Be A Star
INTRO: F
CHORUS:
C G Am C
To be a star, you've got to shine
D7 C G
To be the light in someone's heart
Am
You gotta be bigger than you are
G F G C
Gotta be bigger than you are
G Am C
If you can't reach what you can see
D7 C G
When dreams are your reality
Am
It's time to be bigger than you are
G F G C
Time to be bigger than you are
Am
Are you ready for the sudden awakening
C F
Are you ready for the total recall
G F
Are you ready for the truth when it's told and
G
How do you know that it's the truth at all
C
Sometimes that truth isn't honest
Am F
Sometimes it cuts like a knife
Some days take more than all day and
G F
Some lives take more than one life
CHORUS:
C G Am C
To be a star, you've got to shine
D7 C G
To be the light in someone's heart
Am
You gotta be bigger than you are
G F C F
Gotta be bigger than you are
C G Am C
If a smile would break on every face
D7 C G
At once our planet, human race
Am
Would learn how to find the path with heart
G F G C
We could be bigger than we are, bigger than we are
Are you ready for the rock and roll ending
Am F
Are you ready for the rigmarole
Are you ready when you gave it all
G C
And you'll be damned if you know where you're gonna get some more
Am F
Are you ready, are you ready
Ready to be bigger (are you ready)
C Am F
Ready to be bigger than a star
